You wont be hearing about him in the news, but I guarantee you will hear about the addicted rock singer with 6 kids and 2 wives who commit suicide on his dead friend's birthday.. selfish.

I wouldnt mind passing away in peace watching feeding/wathcing my chickens... (that or a sword fight).

Hi!

I think I am having "backyard chicken remorse". My husband brought home two Cowan Roundheads hens (maybe this is the breed?? That what he was told.) last night. He had no idea this bird was used for cock fights. My 5 year old and I have been researching the breed of chickens we wanted for a couple months. We narrowed it down to two different breeds. Now we have these cock fighters!

I have researched that they were bred to fight. However, I am sure SOMEONE out in the subculture of backyard chickens have used this breed for eggs? I can't find ANY information about the hens and their characteristics! We are going to keep these hens, and they are already our pets - they have names (Iris and Elsa)

A little about them that we know: They are 4 weeks old - friendly and a bit feisty (especially Iris). Seem to be healthy, fly pretty high already.

Best Wishes,

Christina

Yeah they are and if it's the real deal they're good too

Useless as layers though. Well not useless but they're not layers. Prolly best to get rid of them and get layers as intended. By your demeaner I don't think it will end well and will probably end with the hens getting the bad name when in fact you don't know how to care for them

If it wasn't for those that fought birds you wouldn't have those great hens. They are far better at everything a layer hen can do except lay the same quantity of eggs. Not every chicken started out fat ^ssed fluff balls that can't get out of their own way. Enjoy your hens.

By the way it's gamefowl.

At 4 weeks old they are pullets, and hard to sex at a early age. Iris being a little feisty could mean that it's not a pullet. They make great pets as long as there's no competition. ( cock fighters ) that's funny, they're gamefowl. Best of luck to you.

That's why it's not a level playing field. It's awfully difficult to explain to someone who is coming in biased from misinformation
