Not quite sure if this is what you mean, but I would LOVE to have an Asil, Shamo or American Game rooster. I've been reading a lot about them and they are so fascinating. I know they might kill my standard breed chickens and that they take a whole new level of care, money, and time that I don't have, but the idea of having a big rooster I could put on a leash and walk around the neighborhood that would possibly scare/attack dogs and cats is so appealing to me for some perverse reason. I think I'd actually like a real bantam dinosaur that I could take for a walk or to a store, but a Shamo or similar bird would fit the bill 😆

i see we've been to the same place and come back with a valuable lesson, though i have to disagree, maybe chickens can't breed with each other or show breeding instincts towards the same sex, but they still can love each other, no matter gender! Homosexuality has been observed in almost every species so its not too much of a crazy idea that chickens can love the same gender, without breeding or showing breeding instincts to them. I mean think about it, how many hens have you had that were attatched at the hip, did everything together and cared for each other, maybe they were in love, not just really good friends! it's interesting to think about

And I'll respect the disagreement. I'm one of those people though, that for things this important (yes, consider this an important thing for animals), I just need science to prove it first, something I'm not sure they would be able to anyhow
