I often see games with a tether on their leg. Is this used as a leash? Are they purchased or any piece of cord will do? What gives?

Its called a tie-cord, certain people do make and sell them (usually at a fair price as well) but most make them themselves. Its not really a leash its more of a.... Pen type thing, its staked into the ground where the roosters cannot get away and most people give them 6 feet to roam around... some 7, 8, 9 ,10 etc depends on the people and how much space they have... its pretty much like chaining a dog if they are agressive to other dogs, people, or you just dont like to have them running around because they get into stuff and they seem to get out of every pen you put them in... (had a beagle like that once..)

Mahonri,

All the china games I have ever seen were duckwing color and had little bitty pea combs. That rooster doesn't look like a typical China Game.

China games are long tails as well. or at least the ones i've seen

That bird may very well have longtail genetics, even have some china game in it. Just doesnt look like a china game ought to look to me.
I think Mahonri has re-homed the bird already anyways.

Back to stupid questions. A pullet is a pullet for its first laying year and then is just a hen. A cockrel is an immature cock and as an adult would be a rooster. But whatʻs a "Stag"? I only see this term used in connection with game birds. Is it a teenage cock? No "stag" party jokes now!
