We had a delaware rooster named tommy at one time (Where do ya think my username came from, eh? some days I do wish I could change it, because that rooster was an EVIL one Didn't really think that one through too far. xD) Anywho, Tommy was an evil rooster. He constantly attacked everyone, exept my mom. I have two silly stories about Tommy..
One-- I had a friend over one day, and she was picking up some hay off the barn floor to hand feed to our horses.. Well Tommy came flying through the barn, and charged at her. Never scratched her, just ran towards her. She screamed and ran so fast up onto the tractor. At the time it wasn't too funny, but looking back on it, it was hilarious. This big ole Delaware rooster pacing back and forth by the tractor tire, he was too, standing by the big tire and picking grit. She was screaming at me to take him away, and wouldn't come down until I put him in a cage.
Second Tommy story was actually a funny one, to anyone. I said he attacked everyone but my mom. He knew who was in charge!! One day mom was out walking around and she hears that charectaristic thumping of a heavy bird running up behind her, she turns around and sure enough here's Tommy. He takes one look at her and mom told me he got this look on his face of "ooohhh CRAP!! You're not Leah." (Me.) And mom told him: "You better apologize and turn around and walk away." Funniest thing was he turned and walked away, almost like he was sulking.
We wound up eating Tommy after he scratched me in the face. Not worth the risk of someone losing an eyeball. But I have plenty of other funny chicken stories I can share at a later date.
