They do have the serious back off look.

One of the two roosters I was debating on keeping tried a small attack on me tonight. He has till Saturday.

The sound she made was the icing... I never knew a chicken could sound like a ticked off tiger!

My boy is the sweetest ever, even with chicks... his hatchmate got a bit hinky once, a round in solitary cures that quick...

I've a real gem of roo also. Good sized and gentle, he's my project bird nothing special however this was his second year and I'm looking for a replacement. I was going to introduce this line into the project but truefully they are not as good in size. Was just thinking the other day they were going to go. This just sealed the deal. I'll be hatching some of the better rooster and work from there.

In my hook, the temperament is just as if not more important than the type... I've booted a beautiful breeder before and won't hesitate to do it again... it makes such a huge difference in the rest of the birds too... any upstarts get one chance to straighten out, then it's the axe...

Agree I'll be watching this guy better tomorrow. I was leaving the coop when he tried his stunt I always keep one eye behind and was sort of ready. More of a surprise as he's never tried anything before. But he's coming of age and all bets off now. A couple of the hens in with him are of good size so they may go in with project. Not sure on them yet. Several have started to lay I'm liking that. They were hatched 6-2

With my other roo I can walk in amongst them with out much worry.

Got 3 CJ chick survivors from my hatch. Had 7 hatch, and lost 3 within 1 day. The 4th held on for a week, but no eating, drinking or growing. Passed this morning in my hand, poor dear. The 3 are looking good, though. Maybe fortune will favor and I will have a trio? (Knock on wood)

Aww, so sorry you lost them I how you get a trio, it's what I'm hoping for too. All 3 of mine are feathering in very quickly.

Got some older hens? Toss the hormonal boy in with them, they'll teach him manners... that's my fave way of dealing with teenage boys, lol...

LOL. Mine are all huff and puff but nothing to worry about. Nary a peck either. I finally set up the broody buster Saturday. Three got the idea already and are back in the flock. But the one that's been broody the longest, who needs to give it up the most and get some weight back on her before winter, that one just will not budge. If I can't break her soon I'm going to lose her.


My young exchequer Leghorn cockerels are being real big jerks right now. Teenage testosterone is raging!
