Ok everyone! I love my chickens!!!!!!!
My first chicken ever was a rescue, my coworker was going to eat him cause he had too many roos. He is a beautiful BR, Roscoe! Just starting to get his spurs.
Well He has always kinda treated me as if i were his hen... i guess. What i call popping his wing and running around me. Ok, well since this I have gotten Red, RIR roo also... and they seem to get along fine... They have the run of our 6 acres.
A month or so ago we converted part of our barn to a chicken coop and decided to get hens. I keep the roos out of the coop. (someone gave me 6 already laying red stars).
For the last few visits to the coop Roscoe has been acting as if he is going to jump up and spur me. Today, he jumped up and grabed my leg and hit me hard with his feet or so he thought spurs. I am wearing jeans but it has left a bruise already on my leg. My husband, and my 13 year old and my 3 year old always go with me to check for eggs. I really don't want this behavior to continue.
HELP ME< what do I do?????????
