    Rooster turned mean

    My rooster started charging my daughter, who helps in the pen. The next couple of days he started charging me. I have fended him off, but it is stressful trying to work in the pen and keep one eye on him. He does not charge my husband or my grandson. The other rooster is peaceful toward us...

    I have had chickens for a while.

    It started with two escape’ s from a Tyson plant. They escaped the transport, the cages and the property. My husband came to the rescue and we caught them and took them home. That became the beginning. I did not know that there are meat chickens and regular laying chickens. They only lasted...
