You keep saying the same thing over and over again about how you can free range your game cocks. Most people can't and I know why you can and they can't. I don't have a very big yard 2.5 acres and they wander into the woods on three sides. For the most part the stags avoid each other. They do form their own little groups like you say. Eventually a "game" rooster will not tolerate another rooster in his vicinity. Your yard is much smaller than mine with fencing all around. I agree penning them will speed the process but it happens on its own just slower. Most people breed for "gameness". Your breeding for ease of raising them. Get regular chickens and call it a day. If you ever actually get some gamefowl and try what your doing now you'd be in for a surprise. I've had birds as young as 3-4 months go the distance in the yard. I've lost quite a few before I could get them penned, nothing new here happens to a lot of guys.

It seems like your trying to breed it out of them. To make matters worse you sell and give away absolute junk that you wouldn't even breed. What's your goal?

 

[roosterhavoc]

I've had a few stags that I've never even touched lost on the yard. Hen hatched, raised and pen opened up to run the yard after a few days. They were never penned to get the "itch" as you call it. So why didn't mine get along like a Disney movie chief?

I think that's my first ever whatever that's called

 

[sdm111]

I don't see how. Even listening to them crow there's chickens to either side of me in the distance and it's like it starts off slow crowing at one another and progressively gets louder and louder till they are all screaming totally boiling over with madness. It's not just calling, they ******

I breed the best fowl I can and gameness has never been an issue. Proof is in observation and feedback from (repeat) buyers.

Perhaps I select good birds that aren't complete idiots. Good gamefowl breeder would know that haphazardly smashing face and feet into something isnt a way to win. Timing and brains also play a big role (among other things)...

Probably good stag that was high energy. Doesnt make other roosters "not game".

Using your logic, I could argue that only manfighters are truely game. because a rooster that is calm or afraid of humans is either too docile or scared to fight. But we all know that is BS...

and I call BS on your arguement that only pen fighters are game

@Texicano ... I grow some Tobacco and going to try to roll some cigars with my last harvest.. Selling whole leaf.

Aww man that's awesome, I was going to comment on the tobacco you had posted last time. I really want to set out a block of land and start growing one day and eventually learn how to roll my own, pretty much like you. I smoke cigars regularly.

Oh I dont have any blocks of land set aside lol... Jsut a few plants that volunteered that I harvest (and they grown back really fast).

Its a wild Tobacco tree that I grow/harvest.

I am more of blunt kind of guy, but the occasional cigar is nice.

In my observation I also see smart pen-fighters.. where they try to trick the other rooster into hurting himself.
