I have a small flock, 5 chickens, 5 ducks. Of this, I have 4 of each hens, a rooster and a drake. They really are the sweetest group of birds Ive ever known, Including Rooster Cogburn, which pleasantly suprised me after growing up with agressive roosters on my mom's place.
Anyway, Cogburn is a great protector of his harem, but has always recognized the limits regarding humans. My birds are free-range most of the day and we have lots of friends and neighbors stop by regulalyincluding small kids. He has never done more than flap his wings and strut a bit at new comers.
Now, my neighbor has recently come over and complained that he is coming into her yard and attacking her. She's insisting that I need to keep him locked up or she'll be calling the animal control dept.
Does anyone have any helpful thoughts? I thought about a tall fence, but he can flutter at least 6ft up already, so i doubt that will help. I really dont want to get rid of him, but i'm out of ideas.
