    Rooster attacked our toddler

    Be extra vigilant because it can happen again. Count your child fortunate the roo missed the eye by inches. I have a year old niece who walks among our huge brahma roos. You must breed and select for temperament otherwise they will be out of control and risk endangering your family.

    Help me choose a bator

    My husband built me an incubator and it has worked wonderfully. It holds 24 eggs, we put eggs in as they are laid and so far 12 has hatched. Built with love, I would not trade it for any incubator in the world.

    Is there a breed or rooster that is generally more quiet?
