I've called him names, and even hit him in the head with a 2x4 when he was in my neighbor's yard...
But yesterday he made me proud. His favorite hen is limping just a little. She's an older BR (older than mine), lays every 2 days or so, and generally tries to be top hen.
Well yesterday I didn't have any pasta to throw out the door in the morning so I grabbed an old hot dog bun and shredded IT to throw out the door. He zoomed in on a big piece and carried it over to his favorite hen and held it in his beak while she ripped off a big chunk to eat it.
It didn't leave a lot for him to eat but I thought it was nice...
Now if I can get him to stop bullying my younger hens around we'll be in good shape.
On an unralted theme...
Does anyone else's easter eggers walk around growling 24/7? Mine do, and it's very endearing... eating, drinking w/e.
