Bad rooster

[Triple Willow]

Lol.... I could see DH having way too much fun dressing the kids up in riot gear and playing get the rooster... Poor thing would probably end up so traumatized he'd start laying eggs!

Sounds like fun to me! LOL

My boys would have liked that too..even as teens, if I had let them.    As it was my livestock and pets were terrorized enough by three boys being all the boys they could be...like the time they tried to herd the sheep using a rake and the riding lawn mower.  Or ricocheted a BB pellet off a tree and hit the dog in the eyelid with it...took him years to get over the fear of a gun showing up outdoors.  Or the time I saw one of my very old layers with a big, pink spot on her flank....and limping..after there was a paint ball battle in the orchard.  I was going to cull her for nonlaying anyway but I don't hold with unnecessary torture of the animals, so they caught it that time.  They claimed it was an accidental shooting but I don't believe them.  She started laying right after that and laid double yolk eggs for awhile before quitting again, that time for good.  We laugh about it now but at the time I was not amused. 

You should thank them, it is obvious that hen just had a little blockage going on! hahaha We knew not to be mean to the animals or we would get in some deep trouble (especially from my grandfather). But my aunt gave the go-ahead on that so it was payday for those nasty roos. lol

That's what THEY said...

Said I should let them "paint" all the chickens to improve laying stats. Boys. Can't live with 'em and..well...ya just can't live with 'em.

I was the only girl, grew up in a neighborhood of boy and had a ball! LOL We weren't too bad but we did have fun.

I bet! I was a tom boy growing up as well and back then kids actually played outside, organized games of softball, whiffle ball, tag, hide and seek, war, Red Rover, king of the hill, etc. We fished, swam in the river, rode our bikes, enacted out plays, built tents and forts and various other odd things. It was all very physical and Mom would have to shout for us and finally threaten us to get us to come in each evening. Ah, those were the days......

Sure didn't see many chubby kids back then.

The most fun I remember was playing football, riding horses and riding motorcycles and oh yeah a whole lot of fishing. I wouldn't take a million dollars for those days! Nope, no chubby kids back then. My mom would go outside and lay on the car horn when she wanted me to come home. LOL Out in the country it carried pretty far but sometimes I was still out too far to hear it.

Chickens have a pecking order. With most roosters you're either at the top of the pecking order or you will more than likely get your butt kicked in the chicken sort of way (attacked). Good luck to you!
