I am confident the scenario you describe is folks rearing fighting cocks. No other reason to raise a yard of roosters in that fashion. No one is going to under feed their prized fighters! Sorry to be a bummer. While shopping for real estate in EKY, we immediately wrote off a property because the neighbor was raising an “orchard” of fighting birds right by the driveway / entry in the exact fashion you describe.

I see this in several places where I live in NE Kentucky. It seems that Kentucky dont enforce any laws against it. I work in animal rescue and believe me, Kentucky doesnt enforce laws concerning dogs and here, cats are just a nuisance in their eyes. Its a shit show. I think the breeders are hiding behind the guise of English Game breeders

As I’ve heard it put: there’s nothing illegal about having pet roosters. In other words, raise all the fighting cocks you want, just don’t get caught betting on their tournaments. I suppose.

I'm sorry I didn't see the reply to my question ealier. That is what my husband said he thought as well. The guy down the road that was doing that all his roosters were just gone one day so I can't say what happened. It makes me so sad and sick to think about it. I just lost my two roosters yesterday to a probable mink attack..and I really cared about those birds and to think someone does it just for sport makes me want to cry more

I hear ya @WhatsUpDuck There can be enough suffering, death and heartache on the homestead without making a homestead into a purposeful source of these things. I’m a softy - just yesterday, I had to mercifully dispatch a mouse where the trap didn’t fully do the job. I don’t care that I still get upset at these moments - in fact, I pray to never be desensitized to taking a life, regardless of the purpose.

I have been told there’s big money to be made in cockfighting tournaments. With that incentive in place, and enforcement lax, I don’t see the issue going away soon. On the bright side, at least we don’t have cockfights on prime time television like they do in the Philippines.
