Yea he's put a few holes in me since I got him. He got me about 2 weeks ago an I was soooo mad! If I felt like plucken all them feathers he would a been dinner. But I would rather keep him around cause other than getting a cheap shot in every now and then he's a good rooster.

The one pictured above looked like he would get charged and ready when he saw me.

Supposed to be whitehackle. The father is my avatar. But they was the first gamefowl I got and didn't know what I was doing. The guy had about 50 just running around so shure they was a barnyard mix of games.

What's the secret centra?

Best secret is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Some of the man-fighting can have a genetic component but a larger part with respect to games comes with your approach to handling, especially during the early stages. Once man-fighting realized in a bird, it takes a fair amount of investment to back him out. My approach involves a lot of time around bird so stress reduced through acclimation and at some point he needs to try himself against you without being able to see fruits to his labor. In other words he needs to be able to relax and realize he can not drive you off or whip you even when he can put it to you. In the process he must also not see aggression coming from you. For me. this problem with games is very infrequent although with non-games where genetics more important it is pretty common. Your husbandry technique needs re-evaluation if man-fighting occurs frequently in birds you raise.

Thanks for the good advice centra. I have only one who's ever been a man fighter and that's my black. But I didn't get him until he was a stag. I always herd the blacks where more wild acting than other breeds. But I'm going to give it a solid try to reverse it. I usually try not to get mad when he gets me but I'm not gonna lie I just want to punt him across the yard when he gets me. And he's not an all out man fighter flogging you when you walk in, he likes to sneak up behind you when your not looking.
