Love Donkeys
Chirping
I do not pick up any of my birds or hand feed them. Once I had a rooster start to turn mean. I kept walking pass the chickens like I always did. One time he got up the nerve to try to attack as I walked by. I heard him coming I spun around, bent my knees, threw my arms out to the side like wings and roared at him. There we stood the rooster in his attack stance and I'm in mine. I kept glaring at him and eventually he gave up and join his girlfriends. From then on I kept one eye on him and the other eye on where I was going. I'm not saying that going into an "attack stance" would work every time with every rooster. I do know when you show fear the animal knows it and then your toast. (I have free-range Speckled Sussex, 2 roosters and 28 hens)
