You can get a scratch off a broody old Rhode Island Red or almost any domestic fowl but a real bird can, if your not careful, do you some real damage.

 

When i was young i used to get the train up to Wigan to a bloke called Mick, who left to do the terrier work for the Cotswold.

Mick kept a real bird or two and i remember calling in one day to see his Mrs agueing with him to go to the hospital as he'd took his eye off a bird and got footed right across his lower eyelid. His face was split bad and he was holding a cloth tight. Nasty it was and he was well expierienced. Made me always think before handling birds like that. They aint my game, i know almost nothing but i know they deserve respect.

that would of ended up in the pot lol I like to be hands on with my birds I like to give them hand work outs to keep them in shape and fit. I have in the past had man fighters and also some which were about funny around the molt and when chicks were on the ground but never kept an out and out man fighter...... There's plenty of birds out there winning daily which don't need hooding or shackles which will sit in the hand all day it's just a case of handling
