I'll second that, if he is a good GAMEcock he will have all of them running down the road in a couple minutes.

My friend got in trouble with his neighbors because the wild type stag I had given him went after the neighbor's rooster and almost killed it. He doesnt know the breed but he said its a lot bigger.
He said the wild type was beat up pretty good tho too, but kept trying to fly back over.
Had to build a pen to keep the wild type in his yard.

Yikes, I'm sure no one in that situation was happy. I'm gonna have to put a sign up on my gamefowl that's says " do not open unless instructed to and under no other circumstances" or something simpler, because I have lot of littler family members that love playing and holding my chickens and I don't need the game cock getting out and killing my other roosters. I've heard that the game hens are also mean to other hens they don't know and can kill them, is that true?

In penned up situations that is probably true... I think if they get out and free range there would be plenty of room for one to run away. Roosters on the other hand would probably keep chasing, and since games are fast they would probably chase down and catch any rooster they dont like.

My grandfather used to tell a story when I was a kid... There was a nice flock of white rocks at the feed mill. One cock bird and however many hens. That cock bird was supposed to be quite protective of his flock. As the story goes, there was a gentleman that raised gamefowl and had a rooster he was proud of. One day arrangements we made to bring the game rooster for a visit to the feed mill... Perhaps the white rock had the home field advantage, but as I remember the story he won...

Yeah true, there'd be room to get away from eachother in the hens case, i know this is a dumb question but would it be okay to keep let's say a Rhode Island Red hen with the gamefowl if she's introduced at the same time the gamefowl are in the pen? Or would the game hens still harass and kill her? Yeah my roosters couldn't outrun the sleek and fast game cock, they'd get a few yards and get caught. I'm planning to free range the two flocks alternately, or at least one a week for the games and I was wondering if the game cock would fight through the fence like one would do to another game and get all bloody and stuff, I would think my other roosters would tire and just leave him alone since they don't have the urge to kill like the game( the game would be inside his pen so my other roosters could just leave). Sorry for all these questions but thank you for all your help and information.
