Raising Chickens

I have a friend whose dad used to raise fighting chickens. Although it is against the law to fight them in Georgia, you can raise them. He SAID he never fought them in Georgia. Yeah, uh huh. But I know they went to other states and did. He had some champions too. He kept them in houses he made from plastic 55 gallon drums. Had them tethered by cables tied off from one leg to a stake in the ground. At one point years ago, he had well over 300. I thought the plastic drum idea was pretty good. He gave them probably 15 feet of cable. They seemed fine.
