Be careful what you say in public forums!

I get rather annoyed with people who make up excuses for the rooster attacking them. Three strikes and you're out - the rooster I mean. Why would you want to raise his offspring and create a bunch more with his aggressive personality. My friend got badly spurred by her house rooster and blamed herself for it. Why not they were in the same house and apparently that was reason enough for the attack.

And yes, when I started on BYC a number of people were bragging how they killed a hawk or wounded him etc. raptors are protected by law and the fines & prison sentence are no joke. You can even be fined for possessing their feathers. Like they never molt or lose feathers on their own. I'd find one occasionally by the telephone pole one used as his lookout post, and didn't dare pick them up.

Would imagine chicken sites are monitored by police, whatever, checking for people who do illegal things with their birds and then brag about it. Or folks that have a number of roosters of a certain type, and no hens....

I agree!
In my world: bad= good
Bad chicken= good chicken soup!
No second chance! Zero tolerance to chicken/ rooster that attack me or my children! We are in the alfa position! The ones that refuse to accept it fined an immediate way to the dinning table!

This is a really old thread that someone resuscitated. Reading through it, I see postings by people that have died.

A good many people have abandoned this forum for Face Book or Twitter. I haven't because there is nothing going on in my life, but I don't want the whole world to know it. There is a lot to be said about keeping your private things private.
