That's not play, that's very agressive behavior. I don't tolerate it around here, it can leave you bleeding. I think you're going to have a problem, there.
Ranchhand : I knew there was a voice of reason out there somewhere, Thanks for helping folks to understand that what they think the chicken wants, is not the case and can lead to this kind of behavior, but I feel we are barking up the wrong tree of reason and common sense here LOL. There are way too many folks here who would rather have a unruley rooster that flog's them just so they can play huggy pie kissey poo with them. Then when it get's out of hand and they do what needs to be done, they'll just get another one and start the whole visious cycle all over again. I do however wish them luck regardless of how misguided they may be.

not like that at all, no huggy pie kissy poo here at all with king henry, he is a dominant rooster but he protects the whole flock and i like that. if he will attack a 6'2" man @ 330 pounds I have no worries about him letting me know anything else in in the yard. I was talking about my newly born chicks ... not their mean ole dad. raising chickens is not new to me, I have been doing it since I was 19 years old and i'm 44 now. amazing how quickly some people can become critical of how some one raises their chickens, kinda like how people try to tell people how to raise their kids. it's humorous to me the way he behaves I didn't post that for any one to crucify me about it. good thing no one knows how I incubate my eggs, huh? I thought this was a sight to help and share, not belittle and be judgmental of how I raise my chickens. I see nothing wrong with a dominant rooster, some one has to protect my horses when i'm not home. thanks for allowing me to post as many post as I have but if this is how you chicken people 'roll' I don't think I want to be a part on this website anymore. remember judge not, lest ye be judged .... right?
good bye BYC
