well for all you who would rather kill a fighting rooster, I found out why he is fighting. He feels threatened by my shoes. He does protect his flock by the way. He just has a problem with certain types of shoes. I dont know why. The guy we got him from would go barefoot around all his chickens (gross) but he doesnt attack my boyfriend who wears flip flops. I went out this morning & he just attacked my shoe. He pecked & flogged it. They are big clunker shoes that I got from my grandpa so I wont ruin any of my good shoes. Im not giving up on my rooster yet.
