Then it's definitely time for a one-way trip to Freezer Camp!Not sure I'm brave enough!!I think I'll run and jump over the nearest fence if he comes for me! I suppose it might be a one off, but not a risk I can really take with small children coming on holiday.
What time can you make it MROO?? xxWhat time's dinner?
I had a bit of a surprise five minutes ago..... I went out to do some gardening and my rooster, Lala, who is now 16 months old and who I raised from an egg, rushed at me and did that shuffling, sideways dance that he does around the hens.I've read a few of the threads on here, but am still not sure what to do! Is he being aggressive/dominant in some way? I shouted at him and he stopped straight away. I have read that you are meant to pick them up.... but I don't feel confident enough to do that! He's a cross between an Orpington and a Marans and quite a hefty guy now! He is away from the main flock in a separate enclosure, but has three girlfriends to keep him happy and the run of the garden. I was walking towards two of them when he came at me. One of them has three chicks...... I can't believe he thought I would harm them???
What should I do? Could he be aggressive towards my 3 year old granddaughter when she comes here? Any advice very gratefully received! Thank you all xx
Neither do we. We have 3 small kids and will not tolerate an aggressive animal. Had a one year old Maran rooster go out of his way to knock my 2 yr old down and jump on him. My poor baby was all scratched up and terrified. He watched as we culled the the rooster so he knew it wouldn't hurt him. Now if you ask what we do to mean chickens he says, "choooooop"
