To Test

when you get a brood cock he needs to be fought at a pit this is testing the cocks fighting abllity if he wins he is good brood but just because he wins doesn't mean he is good brood he must cut, break,have some speed, and at all cost win if he looses he was not good brood

the hen is easy to test just watch her brothers fight if they are good her biddies will be good

Get them hens laying, chicks hatching, and roosters fighting
