The rooster that hurt me smacked me just below the knee with his beak after I turned to face him when he blindsided me. I felt like someone had whacked me full force with the claw end of a hammer! He was also raking my bare legs with his spurs and flogging me with his wings, but that beak blow just about put me on the ground.Hmm perhaps you are right. I had a baby about 3 months ago and my oldest son has been taking care of all the animal chores for me. This has been extremely helpful to me....but he is the one who keeps getting attacked. So I will take over the chores again. Luckily the cockerel doesn't have spurs yet so he hasn't been able to successfully injure anyone.
