Hey guys how loose feathered is too loose feathered for an American Game?
The "WitchDoctor," rooster ain't a manfighter, he was just handled rough. Turns out he was caught in a live trap, beside a farm with hatch, sweaters, and witchdoctors, so he lived most of his life as a wild chicken. I'm happy to say that I got him tamed down. What I am noticing is more/looser feathers under the breast and around the thighs than any other games chickens I've had. I don't have a good pic yet but I plan to have one soon. His leg scales are slightly raised and I forgot the old timer cure for leg mites. All I know about him is that his sons look just like him, and he can spar well.

cooking oil. dip the legs in oil a couple times a week, or brush the oil on. there are several threads on here about that. I read 8 pages worth a couple weeks ago, this seems about the best/easiest to me.
one person made a setup with a pan of used restaurant cooking oil that they would have to walk through. he had a bunch of birds with it.
you're suffocating the little buggers.
I think the oil mixed with flea/tick spray would work good, haven't tried it though.
good luck

does anyone know what kind or breed of rooster this is ? I'm trying to find a better picture, but this is my rooster that attacked me. My neighbor gave him to me and said he was some kind of game rooster.

He looks like a whitehackle, what color is his legs?

 

[SAMnELLA]

I'll have to go out and check They are grey/black.

 

[SAMnELLA]

The legs are grey and black. You can't see in the picture, but some of the dark tail feathers have green in them also. He's a beautiful bird, but aggressive. I have him in a smaller cage since he attacked me and I'm trying to figure out what to do with him now.

 

[sdm111]

He needs at least room that could help with aggression

 

[SAMnELLA]

He was in a bigger cage with 2 hens when he got me. So I'm wondering if I just let him out if that would help. We have 10 acres.

Idk all mine are penned. Larger pens without hens have lessened the aggression with a couple but didn't make them loving kittens either lol
