well I have a white Cornish rooster that i wish i had killed a very long time ago. This is one of the worst roosters i think i have ever owned. I got hellion for $10 As a package deal with a black Sumatra off of CL that i ended up having to put down because of him.
Pros: hellion is a good mater he leaves no hen's needs "unattended" to and he has on more then one occasion taken on (and won) a dog three times his size.
now for the cons: This bird compared with the stories of other peoples cornishes doesn't fit he is very bird and human aggressive. He jumps and pecks for my face every time i bend down to fill the feeder or waterier. And he attacks the other chickens on the roost if they roost before him i have watched him more then once pull his pen mates off the roost by her tail or neck feathers this lead to a another hen (my only black Sumatra Watson) having to be put down when she hit the floor at a bad angle and broke her hip. I have tried for several months to get him a new home but no bites. so hellion will be meeting Jesus on Saturday i finally got the ok to cull him after he attacked my dad. I'm tried of trying to train him not to attack me he has over stayed his welcome by several months.
