    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    LOL!!!! I sold him (and all my other chickens) back in August to a friend of mine...we are getting ready to move next year to N.C. That same rooster is still alive and kicking - seems his NDE (near death experience) set him on the straight and narrow path. And he is still drop-dead (no pun...

    Welsharon - this is just my opinion - and others may feel differently, but I find a rooster respects me more if I did not treat it as a pet. I treat my hens as friendly as I want, but the roos (as soon as I identify them, they are not coddled...I use my body to push them away from me and/or...

    I'm sorry I missed your post! It is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. And just an update for everyone - he has been as good as gold! Not even one fluffed up feather and he gives me a wide berth as I do my chores. I'm really, really glad because I do like him!

    Another day - no problem. He's happy. The girls are happy. And I'm happy.

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    Piece of cake!!! I'm really excited to do it! I really can't believe this never occured to us before this - and these people have probably picked up more than 30 cockrels/roos over the years.

    You gave my husband and me a great idea! We discussed it last night and we are going to rais up 24 chickens for them for Thanksgiving. I emailed the church and they are thrilled. Thanks for such a great idea - can't believe we never thought about that ourselves.

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    Alright..........all chores done for the weekend, and not so much as a raised feather from him. I'm hoping we've come to an understanding. Each morning I opened the pop door I allowed the ladies out and prevented him from coming out for a good minute or two...then once I let him out, I kept...

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    I'll post a full update tomorrow (on my tablet). But today he he was back to his normal cordial self. I walked in and he moved away. Every where I went he gave me space. I will be keeping my eye on him. I'm hopeful he will remain this way.

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    Excellent advice - and I figure that it's the only way to see if he has learned his lesson. I'm hopeful - I really do like him. I also think that I inadvertantly created his birthday. Each morning, I go and open the pop door and I immediately walk out....I have a lot to do each morning...

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    Nope. I don't. If he really just had a bad day and never does this again - he's safe. One more wrong move and he's going to be dinner for an underpriveleged family. I said it here somewhere already, but I donate all my "extra" roos to a local church that feeds migrant workers and their...

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    If you have enough roosters, it will happen. Roosters aren't "mean" - even though both you and I have used the word. They are just being roosters...and some are just more aggressive/defensive/protective than others. Period. I have had many roosters through the years and always counted my...

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    Well....I went in there last night and didn't give him any time to decide his behavior. I decided I didn't want to look insecure or unsure, so I went in and snatched him off his roost/perch. I carried him around by his legs in front of his girls and the other rooster/hens in the other pen. He...

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    Same clothes I wear every day. Thanks for laughing with me AND understanding the serious implications this birds actions will have on his life. I like this bird. He's lucky. I will evaluate his behavior tonight after work. If it's acceptable, he has earned himself the weekend. If he...

    I had to kick some SERIOUS rooster a_ _ this morning. We had a little "come to jesus" meeting.

    I went to open the pop-door to let them out for the day and he came flying out at me and trying to spur me! This frickin' bird has lost his ever loing mind! He is a year old and has been respectful until now. I went after him and kicked him good when he tried to have another go at me...
