They were there because some of those roosters were man fighters
Man I had a game rooster as a pet one time. I went in the pen and picked him up, petted him and when I put him down. I noticed he kind of turned and was eyeing me like he wanted to try me. Had his little chest poked out while he was strutting. Bout the time I fixed my mouth to cuss the little muth...He was on me. In the blink of an eye he closed the gap and went right up my leg. By the time I realized it was ON, he was already waist high. Him being close to my hands, my lightning reflexes kicked in and I slapped him back. As I went for the door, I could see the fear in my wife's eye and her closing the door, fearful it might happen to her. Some how in all the shuffling I got a lucky leg sweep in. It bought me enough time to get to the door. His Spurs were cut into squared off nubbs about a half inch long. Judging by the marks he hit me 20-30 times one of which resulted in a half golf ball sized knot on my shin.standing there beaten and bloody, I had a new found respect for my little buddy.
Had a grey and a kelso I let run loose one time around the shop. You wouldn’t turn your back on em much. As long as you were looking at em you’d be fine.
Had Several Kelso Grey Mixes, and i named one the Terminator lol. Swear he sounded like a machine when he'd crowed lol. Had a Bunch of Blues also, they were probably my Favorites to RAISE...
