Thanks you sir...I believe what he was saying was the hen that gets down may not be a bad hen at all just one that like to fight and won't quit resulting in being ragged looking. That doesn't necessarily mean she wouldn't be worth keeping.

Knowing the difference says it all my good sir.There's a night and day difference in game and dead game unfortunately if I explain the difference I'll be disbarred
I know of a breeder in the islands that woke to a lot of dead hens due to an unusually hard night rain.As always I am going to play devils advocate... although I am not arguing or agreeing with anybody (don't even know why there is any contention). Pecking orders change over time, and relationships are complex. Hens will respond differently towards the various other hens they meet and age has a lot to do with it. An old grumpy hen may whoop on a younger hen, but that does not mean the older hen is more desirable than younger. The hierarchy may change as the younger matures. My Modern Game hen rose to the top of the hierarchy (within the aviary). and now dominates the golden hen shown below... doesn't mean that the Modern or Golden hen lack any courage/gameness.
You are a funny guy havoc...You may be able to even keep cocks together if you give them some chamomile tea to relax them. Maybe talking in a soothing voice would work too
