He looks like he is giving the girls some attitude.

I feel like I've seen someone mention that you could upload videos directly to BYC in the gallery section... Let me do some digging and see if I can find a how-to or something!


Edit, try here maybe: https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/albums/members-videos.7430081/add

Editing again, okay maybe not there, I think that might be someone's album directly... but you can make an album in gallery and upload videos to it I think?

Okay one last edit, go to gallery, make an album there, click add media, and you should be able to upload a video to it.

Ooh, thank you! I will need to either find the video on my computer, or record a new one. Right now the roosters are lying down in the planter that is in their run, so they will not move no matter what I do (certain signals I refuse to do unless they are necessary). But later in the day they tend to run around and get into mischief.

I wish my little roo was as easily trained. My big one is a Sapphire Gem, and he truly is a gem. My little one is an Easter Egger that does whatever he wants, so long as he annoys the big one. When the big one attacks the little one, that is when no hand or voice signals work. I have a spray bottle of ice water that I have to use to stop them fighting; though sometimes I have to physically step between them because the bottle is not always handy. But the rest of the time, they listen to the hand.

Haha, they sound like siblings!

What a great shot! I hear you on that, I have cockerels all over the place right now that think they're the biggest, toughest birds on the block. The only one they're impressing is themselves.

Man... One of my old, old, old, old hens passed away overnight, and I was writing up a post about her for my thread like I always do and realized, holy cow, I was still a just kid when I got that bird! Like, not a little kid or anything, I was little when my family first got the chickens like 18 years ago, but still!

I'm sorry to hear this. But it sounds like she had a really long life. You should rejoice in that.

I think I might be having a crisis about my age now. View attachment 3636082

Ah, man do I have to say it? Let's just say I am past the mid-twenties and leave it at that.

Almost x3 here, so watch it, ya young whippersnappers!
