Thank you for reviving a dead thread that was pretty much already settled. What is a "razor saddle"? IF they were used for cockfighting wouldn't the bird be dead since birds that will fight (like actual games that fight because it's their nature) kill the other birds if they were running loose together?
ETA: And another thing! Too often people on this site push this "Roosters will kill you" propaganda when the truth is if the bird is not abused IE: kicked, choked, picked at, etc. Is in his genetics, or he's doing his job to protect his ladies/territory the birds will not attack you. I have had over 200-300 roosters at one time (separated of course) and i think i may have only had..... Ten birds in my life time that would bite/flog people, though some will if you startle them (you are too right? someone randomly grabs you out of nowhere or freaks you out and you either think "hit " or "run") but that's not aggressive behavior, that is simply you misunderstanding them. People will tell you the same thing about dogs, horses, cats etc. You're just misunderstanding their actions at that time, it doesn't make them aggressive animals... So raising them from chicks helps some, but who it's raised by doesn't exactly.. I have bought many roosters from other people i wanted to breed into my lines or get started with a certain breed (like Old english bantams, i got a few pairs of full grown birds... I wasn't attacked once)...
Sorry if i seem angry, just a little agitated how people immediately think anyone who owns games or more than 2 roosters fights them. Same as dubbing...
I understand what your saying, and i wasnt saying that they try to kill you. My best rooster will flog me simply if I grab his hen. But i was saying most people use that excuse. And a razor saddle is just what ive always heard people call leather knife braclets. And saying that there intentions where to use him for cockfighting, maybe. Just didnt do it. I am not saying that they did use him or where planning to. It just sound wierd. And I understand everything you are saying. I agree with it all. I wasnt meaning it like you took it, and I can understand you thinking that now that I have read over what I posted. I was saying that too many people use that for an excuse. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
