sweet. Lucky... not everyone has the opportunity to adopt such a cool rooster.
Looks a little rough at the moment, but so do most of mine... (molting season)

 

[TheTwoRoos]

We figured he been attacked,I personally think he seven maybe eight month.

So do these birds molt earlier?I don’t notice molting till usually mid-end of August.

Injuries doesnt mean he was a victim... its most likely he was attacking back lol...

As far as molting, depends on the bird. My heavier American games molt a lot and early... some of my others (usually Spanish related) dont molt much at all.

It’s illegal to breed for fighting. I doubt it. Just cause he’s dubbed doesn’t mean anything. Everyone that owns a pit bull isn’t fighting them especially since both are illegal. That birds feet are wrecked. I’d guess he was kicking wire at some point.

Oh,I thought the entire breed was bred for it,didn’t know specific ones were and were not.

The breed was for that.. but since laws changed who knows anymore. Some keep them game and use them for that reason. Others just like the breed and keep them as hobby (like me).

 

[TheTwoRoos]

Well I want him for ornamental and pet purposes.

He appears to have a health issue. Pattern of feather loss not consistent with molt. Something pulled his tail feathers out. Face color does not look good.
