Fighting cocks

The reason I am coming to this forum to ask this question is because growers have brains and alot of other forums contain nothing but idiot chatter. Anyway, an old man who lives in my neighborhood has some beautiful roosters which he says are fighting cocks. They dont seem very mean am I wondering how they train barnyard chickens to fight? Do they abuse the chickens to make them fight? He also said chickens raised for meat live in crowded conditions where the weak ones get badly beaten by the others. Then they get hung alive and have their throats slit. That seems messed up and if it is true, I will never eat a chicken again. Can anyone please give me an intelligent answer. Please!!!

do they get the roosters high at least ?

Fighting Cocks are alot different than your mass produced steroid fed Chickens bred for slaughter live in the most horrible conditions you could ever imagine.
although this is not the place to discuss it..
if you know how to use google im sure you'll find the info you need...

Lol of all places why would you come to us for that? Goodluck tho.

Anyone involved in that barbaric sport deserves to be shot. I've seen undercover footage of cock fighting and it's horrific. I didn't think it would be that bad as they are only small and don't seem to be able to do much damage to anything; but they really tear each other to pieces. Very sad. They attach sharp metal hooks to their feet too so they inflict more damage when they claw each other. I'm not sure how they force them to fight, it may be a male rivalry thing or they may put a female between them like they do in horse fighting. Whatever it is it's fucking wrong.

the males naturally fight, but with selective breeding they create chickens who love to fight. well bread fighting cocks have long sharp talion and have no need for hooks or blades attached to them, although i have heard of that too. i personally don't think it's that bad, but to each his own.

what does this have to do with growing?

wtf???

Exactly my point. This is like kinda out in the blue and has nothing to do with "Basic Growing".

From a chicken shit website:

"Chicken shit is very good fertilizer, but is considered to be a "hot" fertilizer, meaning that it should not be applied directly to the soil or around plants while your garden is growing. It's best if you compost it first, or do what we do, which is put it on the garden in the fall, after the growing season is finished, to break down over the winter. It can be tilled into the soil in the spring and will give your garden a big boost. Most all manure is high in ph, so if you put lots of it on, be aware that the soil will tend to become more alkaline. Potatoes will get scabby when the soil becomes more alkaline, for example."
