I have 3 black australorp roosters, 1 production red, 1 mix cockrel, and at least 1 silver spangled appenzeller spitzhauben and 1 lavender americauna cockerels. Sorry if spelling is off. Each adult rooster has their own coop and hens. I’ve wanted to breed australorps and hatch some chicks or use one of their roosters to make sex links with the barred rocks I have. I’ve been dodging the attacks of the black roosters for awhile, but told myself if I get hurt…well, something needs to change…Today, Noni (WAS Wynonna) got me behind the knee pretty good. He waits for you to do a chore, like scooping feed for the goats, and rushes up and jumps at you to get behind the knee. He almost got the tendon/ligament whatever it is but thankfully didn’t. I was just so disappointed in him. I’ve always loved watching him walk around with his two Wyandottes that he loves so much. He goes on adventures all over the property with them, and they look so cute! I knew this was coming, but it sure is hard when you raised them and loved them. Testosterone is a b—h! I’m really going to watch him adventuring with his girls and acting as goofy as he always does. He obviously needs to be culled because the aggression is getting out of hand. I can keep him cooped up…but then he will attack me when I get eggs. I also want to put the Spitzhaubens in there and wouldn’t mind crosses with the silver laced Wyandottes. Perhaps they’ll wander around the same way like good old times. It’s still hard to say goodbye!
