*****post stories of you roosters*****

I LOVE my cock. He's almost six months and at first he was a little brat, but I think it was because he had an even brattier brother to live up to. So mega bratty big bro is gone and now he is very sweet. He loves to find his girls treats and even gives up his favorite food (grapes) to his hens. He doesn't crow very much and even when he does it isn't ear splitting. He mates gently with the girls and only when he is in one of his "moods" does he chase after them or become aggressive tword me. His name is Sunshine and he is a frizzle Cochin boy.

My main flock Roo was ordered as an Americauna pullet...one girl was named Cruella and he was Deville...after discovering he was a roo, the name stayed. He (as all the EEs are) was my DDs baby. At about 10 months old, he and my DD had a diagreement and it started a war. Our red cochin, Ruby, is a screamer. She screams to be picked up, screams when you pick her up, screams while you hold her, screams when you put her down well you get the picture. DD was in coop after school and Ruby began screaming for attention and DD picked her up...she was still screaming. Deville being the man of the coop came running to see what was going on and took in the scene...DD holding Ruby, Ruby screaming therefore I must attack the child. He ran at her and startled her...she ran from him. After that every time she went in the coop he would run at her. She picked him up and humiliated by carrying him around like a baby in front of his girls. For months it went on and she wanted me to fix it but the problem was not with the Roo and me, so I told her she would have to come up with a way to resolve it. He was not hitting her, just running at her. One day she went out to see the girls and he ran at her and scratched her with his toenail and she came stomping back to the house. This is where the war ended.

She walks past me in the kitchen and grabs my hand conditioning dish liquid with lavender oil in it and heads out to the coop. Curiosity got me so I had to follow her to see what was going on as I had already cleaned waterers and such earlier. I see her with a galvanized pan in the run, the water hose and she is making a bubble bath of sorts. I was about to call out to her when Deville came running up behind her and she whirled around, snatched the roo up and shoved him into the bubble bath! I nearly died laughing. I watched as all of his women formed a circle around this bubble bath scene. Deville was brawwwwking to beat the band and DD was reading him the riot act

"I am sick of you jumping me when I have done nothing to you" "You want to be a sissy and sneak up on me rather than attack facing me, then you can smell like a sissy" I have had enough of you Deville" "If this does not cure your problem, the next time you get the blow dry treatment and pink nail polish!"

Now I am unable to move and barely breathing because I was laughing so hard. He is trying to get away, she is dunking him back in and soaping him up and just giving him the speech of how it is gonna be. Meanwhile 30 girls are in a circle around them when she snatches him out, grabs the hose and hoses him off. When she released him, all the girls ran from him...everytime he walked towards one of them they turned and took off. DD cleaned up the "rooster bath tub" and has never had a problem with him since, as the pics indicate.

she holds him one handed now too...this is known as the "One Handed Rooster Hold"

I have 3 roo babies that are just 17 weeks old...

Thor, Son of Suede (Speckledhen's BBS Orp) He has a very deep voice and talks to me

Severus, his parents are Deville above and one of my BAs, just as sweet as he can be

These two boys are sweeties and will be looking for a new home before we move in March.

Draco, son of Deville and Luna, my splash cochin (nice cross, he should carry the blue gene as well as the feather legged gene from his mom)

Sirius, son of Deville and unknown mama

OMGosh!!

I'm laughing so hard at your "Roo Story" Cetawin!

I absolutely love it! You should submit it to Readers Digest!

One of the best roo stories I've heard in a long time! And Kudos to your DD for not giving in to his bad attitude towards her. My DGD would have come screaming into the house and begging me to kill the roo!!! But then, she's a notorious wimp!!

Great story!!

Thankfully mine cannot stand for anything to be killed...she pled with me over killing a deer when we went hunting....I no longer take her.

Love your siggy by the way....Naps here too!
