I have this littel rat dog next door, it seems h has learned that when he chases the chickens, they fly about and make noise which he finds entertaining. Hopefully he doesn't end up hurting the chickens. He just surprised me runing around the corner chasing birds... as he rounded he jumped up towards a bird that was flying and nipped, the strange neighbor relatives were walking down the road and started hollerin at him to stop, which is good. I did not react to the dog in any way given that he is a new neighbor and these new developments left me unsure of the proper reaction at the time. So... I will have to mark my territory with him a little better and hopefully he gets the hint eventually. (all of these homes are on the same property so property lines, law etc are not aplicable)
So to the point, can I get a rooster that is more prone to fighting off dogs than others, without trying to be dominant over my 4 year old? I imagine this is just kind of a luck of the draw thing. I had a group of male banties originally, they were aggressive toward children and me. Now I have a flock of EE's 3 roos, all great, not aggressive at all. I have Ameraucanas coming in April. I am planing on just trying to keep the most bad-*** roosters out of the lot, but I didn't know if maybe someone had more information from experience and what not. Is there a super protective breed that is still not overly aggressive maybe?!?
