    Evil roosters - sick of getting attacked - suggestions?

    Quote: I completely agree. I don't think he's got more than a few ounces of meat on him though - it'd be more work than it's worth. That, and mmm, well, I'm a vegetarian - or ovo-lacto-vegetarian pescetarian. ( I don't eat mammals/poultry ) But I have nothing against others who do -...

    Evil roosters - sick of getting attacked - suggestions?

    "Chicken.Lytle]Haze the rooster. Follow him at a speed walk pace for a period of time. Enough to freak him out and worry about you. Think what it would be like if a black SUV followed you everywhere while you tried to evade it." I tried the speed walking thing last night. It seems like if I...

    Evil roosters - sick of getting attacked - suggestions?

    I'm not sure I can do chicken and dumplings; water pistol - the water hose more like it and it works for 1 day only. But it does get tiresome having to be "armed" at all times in my own backyard. So chicken and dumplings sounds more better if I had someone to do the dish.

    What's your worst incurred rooster injury (or worst you've heard of)?

    Any babydoll sheep injuries? They could have some type of hidden venomous stingers that are a well-hidden secret, ya never know. I know, I want a few of those as well.

    What's your worst incurred rooster injury (or worst you've heard of)?

    I had red steaks shooting up my arm and my hand had swollen up so badly that my wedding ring couldn't be seen. Wow wow wow - that's actually a good warning though for us that still incur injuries for the sake of our roos. I always think about contaminants when I get a teeny puncture/cut. I...

    What's your worst incurred rooster injury (or worst you've heard of)?

    that's an impressive injury for sure...and I thought hookbills could injure the best....not so! My frizzles are cochins - don't give up hope. One of my roos is wonderful, has never even danced by me, let alone flog. I think they are all individuals expect silkies which always seem the most...

    What's your worst incurred rooster injury (or worst you've heard of)?

    My worst so far - a quarter sized bruise w/ center puncture bull's eye w/ scab. Really a sexy look for summer on my shins with shorts.

    What's your worst incurred rooster injury (or worst you've heard of)?

    Trying to make myself feel better & make my roo's attacks pale in comparison.....Don't take this too seriously, trying to laugh vs. cry at my chicken tales of woe.

    Evil roosters - sick of getting attacked - suggestions?

    Sometimes my Cayuga drake (duck) will come in and save me (quite literally, he's probably competing for a mate) - I wish we could train them (ducks) to be more consistent. He won't mess with a gigantic green duck. Thank god ducks have round beaks and can't flog - it'd be like a scene from that...
