Meet my Chick!

Yes, upside down on his back and patted his belly, then put him down and crowed at him. Don’t know if that was chicken talk for I’m the boss, but he looked me straight in the eye and now shows appropriate respect. Lucky I’m on 6 acres so no one came to take me to the funny farm. :celebrate
Oh wow! Thank you so much for that information! I'm definitely putting this in my rooster handling tool bag! I'll try to make sure no one's around, we have 5 acres...so I should be able to manage it! :D
 
Oh no WhoDat! I'm so sorry he did this, I hope it doesn't get infected! :( You definitely don't want a mean rooster around, hopefully it was a one time!
Thanks! Yea, I am really leaning towards rehoming him.. I already found someone who will take him! But now I start to get sad... because he really is pretty good.. I think! That is what the girl asked me.. if he is good with the ladies... I told her I thought so and that I wasn’t 100% cuz I’ve never had a rooster so, nothing to compare with. I remember loving my flock without a rooster but now I have many more hens so I wonder if they are better with a rooster... I’m torn!
 
It won't hurt as bad as the spur...I had to get a tetnus shot last year...cut myself with some rusty & very dirty metal! I agree with everyone else, better safe than sorry!
You’re right.. it didn’t hurt as bad as the wound! But I just don’t like it! Sorta freaks me out... I’m so weird!

That's a very hard decision to make! I wish I could help you out, I know you will miss him...:hugs

I don't like shots too much either, but I've gone through so many different things...it's not that bad! I'm glad that you got one! :love

Edit: I've been worried and following your weather...how are you guys doing so far?
 
Dr Harry, reckons catch and nurse aggressive roosters to show them who is boss. I’ve tried this seems to work. Need a net though to catch him first. Good luck, he’s just doing what they do protecting his girls.
I do hold him sometimes.. when he comes close enough I can catch him... I think it does help and I did crow at him today... but now I am a little frightened of him.. so I am constantly looking over my shoulder to see where he is! If things stay that way then that’s just no fun.. ya know...
