    Aggressive Rooster

    I'm sitting here laughing after reading everyone's posts. I've had a RIR roo for the last 3 1/2 years. We got him when he was about 6 months old and he was just as sweet. He hung out on the back deck with our labs during the day and would come in the house and hang out with me when I got...

    Three days ago, two of my 6 week chicks were found dead in their house. They were intact, but a lot of their feathers had been pulled out. Their house is raised off the ground several feet, but has a little ladder that leads up to it. We never got around to putting wire across the top of the...
