Guarantee those chickens lived better than all backyard pet chickens in the valley. Those birds aren’t cheap they’re worth mucho denero 💰 They don’t start fighting until they’re 2-4 years old. We eat 6-8 week old chicks 🐥 when we order KFC, Canes, Popeyes etc. Which is worse?🤔
This was with rosters, right? Asking for a friend since society is normalizing weird conduct.

Cockfighting, sounds painful.
