cocks should fight

[Luno]

it's weird that wild cocks won't even try to protect their territory, wives and kids
also i think sprucecaps should be able(or forced to) fight more thingies that they can actually beat and learn combat moves.

Cocks support!!!

This rooster studied non-contact fighting techniques and emerged victorious from the fight.

Even ants fight to protect their nest, and a rooster might also join the fight to give the hens and chicks time to escape.

au revoir

I think they should be trivial to beat for anyone that has 5 to 10 combat skill.
They should give good early moves like sideswipe and uppercut, etc, stuff that allow hearthlings to do damage, maybe even quick barrage.
I also think they should give zig-zag ruse, zig-zag should be more accessible in general, "prove me wrong".

And i think IDEALLY in combat they should be just slightly faster than run speed, so that hearthlings that aren't sprinting have a chance to notice that they can still outrun the rooster while chasing chickens, as long as they have forager bonus, or it could also teach them to maintain sprint speed by drinking.

Chickens are more vital early on than ants are, hopefully this would encourage noobs to learn about combat.

I agree, cocks should fight... fight each other that is
Better yet, give them a stat page like cattle has, but with combat related stuff. Let us use the tamed version like pokemon vs consenting hearthlings that wish to test their pet in a duel

All fun and games till some deep pocketed player drops enough cocks to kill a spruce; anyway +1, for some distanctly unique pet battle arena; let me breed up some q666 roosters while we wait for haven 3, OcO.

won't be the first time a spruce took upon a bunch of cocks in this game
