FED UP with Impy!! Where can I buy a rooster leash?

I guess a tether is more of what I meant, not leash. I'm not gonna start taking the butthead for walks anytime soon, unless it's a short walk to the chopping block.

He really is a nice cockerel, he just can't control his impulses at the present time. He can't catch any of the pullets during the day (except the CX ones), so he stands by the coop door at dusk, knowing the pullets will have to pass by him to enter the coop and wham-o! They get mated whether they like it or not. So at dusk all the pullets are hanging around just outside the door, wanting to go in pretty badly before it gets dark, but not wanting to pass by Impy to do it.
Tonight I scooped him up and carried him out to the big birds coop with me while I locked them up, so that the pullets could enter their coop without being molested. He tried his nonsense with my Lil' Bit. Big mistake on his part, huge. My grown hens won't tolerate his nonsense. I was sorely tempted to leave him in with the big birds for the night. Betcha he'd be singing a different tune tomorrow morning.

Oh Please most beautiful, generous, wonderful queen of the farm. No axe.

Just give me more dog toys- you know, the pretty ones.

Impy-

As you know I also have two GSDs. We have no pretty dog toys, only nasty, dirty, dog slobber-covered, trashy ones. Hmmm, maybe that's why Impy likes em.

Which came first, the chicken or the name? I think this chicken fully earned its name, not that the name had an effect on the chicken.

This evening he was in rare form. He was trying to mate a dog toy for goodness sake!

Gosh..I spit coffee all over my computer!!!

I had the same problem with my little bantam roo....I let him spend 2 weeks with 3 older hens. He came out of there a perfect gentleman!

I have been very tempted to try that, except for one thing - Thor, my 13 lb. adult roo. Thor is being really patient with the two cockerels - Impy and Ollie - so far. Have him spend a few day with the adult birds and Impy does something to tick Thor off, I'm afraid all I would find left of Impy is dog food.

That is awesome! We just need a bowing on the knees smiley.

Imp what did you say to have a humpy rooster named after you? *giggles* I used to have a male cat that would do horrible things to socks if left on the floor. To this very day I will pick up socks by their corners.

I also had a CX rooster that would do the same thing at night. He'd wait for the hens to come back to roost and WHAM! The hens would take their anger out on the little EE roo. Now that the CX, Meatball, is gone the little Roo has the hens all to himself. They tolerate him quite well for the most part. The General(the top hen) doesn't put up with him at all however and she'll nail him any chance she gets. I've started to call him Ripper Roo after a character in the original Playstation game Crash Bandicoot. The character giggles and bounces around like the roo does.
