Show Off Your Games!

....Problem is now more people are breeding, raising, and keeping game birds. Instead of leaving them to themselves or properly handling them, they are being treated like pets. My roosters are docile towards me as well as towards each other, providing they have plenty of room and girls, As previously stated. But I only handle show birds and leave the breeders alone. Seems that the show birds are calm when in the cage but when back on the ground they are Almost fearless...So my theory is to not handle breeders to keep them as calm as possible and not breed the show birds...Because I really don't want to wrestle "a buzz saw"

everyday.

I fully agree... I do not handle my game birds at all and keep the rest at a minimum. The only ones I really handle are the silkies and that is because they seem to thrive on it. My games do not like being touched so i don't touch them. I give them music and talk to them when i go out to feed or am walking by but that's about it.

Well, imo handling fowl is a good thing. If you handle your fowl properly, have lines that haven't been bred into manfighters, and house them properly, you won't have issues. The only exception is during breeding season, then you have to use some common sense, and keep them spurs trimmed, especially on them hens. 9 times out of 10 manfighters come from improper breeding practices, or poor management. If you want to see your man aggressive cock mellow out, put em on a tie cord, and see how that makes a difference.
