Amazing information. Much appreciated. I will get a pic of his stance, possibly tomorrow. We don't let the birds free range when we are not around to be alerted.
After losing half of our flock, we decided to get a rooster to help protect our girls. We were given one by our kind neighbor. She said his claws and spurs would grow back. (All are missing) If so, how long does this take? There would be no purpose in keeping him as a protector if his "weapons"...
