Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

You might want to delete this, I don't think it is allowed.

They are talking about the Sport of Kings not not normal behavior like this.

I hope it's allowed. It's natural chicken behaviour. Rooster and hens fight.

Right! The rule is against a different thing altogether.

What's with the 'tudes lately? They sure are pretty, though!

Nothing of any significance. Some icing late tonight into early tomorrow morning.

That's good to hear. Hopefully, it doesn't get too slippery out! The powers that be say there is a storm brewing here, but so far so good.

I'm not sure what the problem is exactly Meg. I let them get on with it as long as nobody gets seriously hurt. You can't stop it with free range mixed sex flocks. The hens fight too. I don't think it's a bad thing to make people aware of. Chickens aren't just about cuddles and fluff with eggs as a bonus. Anyone who reads my posts knows how much I care for them.

Oh no! Please do not delete it. I love those photos. It is teaching me about rooster behavior, and I will soon have 2 roosters!

Normal chicken social order behavior.

I think she was worried it might be interpreted by someone else as the other thing but hopefully people would be able to tell that this is different.

Of course, I completely agree. I shoo'ed a bloody combed cockerel out of the coop last night, he just wouldn't give up the ghost. I have hens fight, as well, but normally a rooster interjects before anything comes of it. I certainly realize how much you care for your chickens! I hope my post didn't come across like I thought otherwise.

Yikes!
Makes me grateful for my old fashioned 50-gallon tank heater.

I have never heard of that happening??? it was a point of use? Anything inside the house, without a pressure relief valve, is dangerous.
