My DH wants to know what kind of bird is the Carolina Gamecock??? And does anyone have just a rooster for sale of that breed?

OEG? Maybe?
For certain a gamecock is everything not a Clemson tiger

Sorry, had to say it, mom's a gamecock alum, I'm a tiger alum....

ETA, american gamecock possibly?

It could be any gamefowl really (except orientals, wrong looks), Old english, American, Spanish etc.. But I'd go with American gamefowl since they're the most common (in the states anyway).

A gamecock is a type of rooster with physical and behavioral traits derived from breeding for cockfighting. Gamecocks are usually much more territorial, have less prominent combs and wattles (which may be removed entirely in a process called dubbing), and have hard feathering. There are numerous chicken breeds that fit the gamecock type, but a gamecock is not in itself a breed.
