Even banty roos can be hazardous

[columbiacritter]

My husband picked up a hen who started protesting. All the roos came running and he thought he was ok since the big roo was keeping his distance and the more aggressive banty was just hackling at this feet, then he got hit from behind. He was NOT squatting, he was standing up right when the roo hit.

This is a 2lb dutch no bigger than a tall pigeon. Who now has filed down spurs.

The funny thing is when this all happen I was heading back to tell him the standard cochin roo had finally pushed me to far and one way or the other he was not going to live thru the weekend. My husband had argued on his behalf before, but no more. He has to work tomorrow so when he's gone I'm offing the nasty arse of a bird. His comment was, "Stew him."

The banty roos are smaller and faster for sure ! I had one named Romeo a black Japanese bantam who would hide and run out to find you and your ankles !!! He did not want you anywhere near his ladies !

BEWARE THE BANTAMS !!!!

Ouch, Ive got some OEGBs that are pretty fiesty, and Ive got the scratches and cuts on my hands to prove it.

I don't care what kind of bird they are. The smaller ones are the most dangerous!! I have 3 ft tall parrots and little tiny 5 and 6 inch ones. The smaller ones get me every time and boy do their bites HURT!!!!!

Your husbands ear looks SORE! OUCH!!

Yes my little bantam cochin roo Cletus was given to the dogs he kept hitting me and was leaving big bruies on the calves of my legs he would follow me all over the yard and hit me from behind i have put up with it for a couple months would pick him up and carry him around I just got sick of it.I won't tolerate it.I have too many roos anyways.

We only have bantam roos and they all are mean.

He found a couple good talon scratches on his scalp when he showered lastnight. I'm thinking one more infraction and the banty roos will be McNuggets
