I just came in here to ask, what is a cockfighting chicken?

When you put 2 fighting roosters in the rink and one loses and dies, that one is called cockfighting chicken. It's dead. Thus the alley cat wins :biggrin:

I'm not so sure the cat wins. Big roosters are often successful at protecting a flock against predators. How big of an alley cat? You can get a 15 pound rooster armed with two 2" long needle-sharp spurs.

If it's not a cage match, the rooster is going to drive off the cat.

p.s. for you city dwellers - farms typically have both - roosters are certainly NOT prey for cats.

p.p.s. I'd look for an accurate picture to show what the cat would be up against, but I'm afraid to google "big cock."

I'm going with the rooster. Cats behave much differently in a hunting situation than they do in a fight-for-survival situation. If the cat got the drop and decided to engage, it would pounce and, unless it got a lucky first bite on the back of the neck, quickly find the rooster much more than it bargained for and run away at an incredible speed.

If the cat didn't get the drop, the rooster would chase it off without there ever being a fight. An angry rooster as big as you and bred and trained to kill would be absolutely terrifying.

Now, if the cat were rabid or somehow also trained to kill, that would be a different fight. I'd give the cat an edge in that one, though it would probably be a Pyrrhic victory.
