Rooster fights, the real ones, are about posturing, not about injury. I have so much respect and gratitude for pattrice jones and the Eastern Shore Sanctuary and Education Center, because they're the first and still one of only a few who will

Excellent photos! This is really how it is. I was lucky enough to witness this first hand with my guys. It is a sight for sure! Hens occasionally will spar too but not nearly as dramatic. I had a tiny Black Rosecomb and several other roosters, when in the frisky mode would sneak up behind me and spur me on the legs! Ouch it can hurt sometimes. I just turn around look them in the eye and talk in a high pitch voice they back off right away. Gotta love the roosters!!! LOL Thanks Cher

man tierney g. i love roosters. i'm not gonna sit here and tell you i don't eat chicken cause of course i do. but not roosters. we had all different types of roosters growing up on the farm and they were and are amazing creatures. would love to own some now but we have an oridinance against them where i live. but if i could i would have me a beautiful longhorne. i just love them. and your right the spurs are fierce.
