I had forgotten what being Spurred felt like...

[Drover]

When I was younger, I was attacked by a rooster and I was short enough that it spurred my head. Blood blood everywhere! I remember the hot blood just oozing off my head ewww. Since then, I carry a walking stick about as long as I am tall whenever I am around the chickens. If a rooster tries to attack me again, he'll be getting a lesson from the school of hard knocks.

Haha I never thought I would be laughing at the morbid idea of having a naughty Rooster butched due to his inability to allow the hand who raised it enter it's "territory" geez... was he delicious???

Me too. I've seen tons of topics where people brag about how calm, docile, just lovely BO's are...

Hope your wounds heal quick and your dinner is tender and tasty.

Hope you heal well and fast.

Mean roosters can be very scarey!

In full flog mode, they bite and hang on, while walloping you with their wings and scratching with their feet and spurs. When I was little, a Dominique rooster flogged me and Mama made chicken and dumplings from him. I don't remember the taste of the dinner, just the relief that I could go into the back yard again and not be attacked.

my phoenix rooster attacked my kids several times, and i had to put him down... dowel over the neck followed by a sharp yank.

My new rooster, a Barred Rock seems to be pretty harmless. He sure talks a lot though.

meanest roosters always taste the best ??

I once had vegan friends who "rescued" a big black roo from being eaten. I warned them they were making a mistake but they were determined to be righteous and keep him as a pet. Long story short several weeks later after a visit to the emergency room for stitches they brought him to me with a bottle of BBQ sauce then left without a word.
