I think that is the sound you make when you are really enjoying fried chicken. I have one roo that came out of the box when we brought him home charging right at me with nasty intent. He and my foot had a 3 round battle. He came at me three times, and three times he went flying. I didn't kick him, I lifted him and kinda threw him with my foot. After that, he has never bothered me again. The charging ones don't bother me as much as the one I have that bites. He likes to sit on the end of the roost nearest to the food bin. He reaches out and bites me on the shoulder and then twists. I cannot break him of it and I am tired of the black and blue marks. He is destined for freezer camp in two weeks.

I have a rather mean BR roo. If he is free ranging I need to carry a stick and I cannot collect eggs from that coop without locking him out of the coop.

My darling built him and his girls their own coop so that I can keep him for breeding purposes. I would not keep him if I did not want his genes.

The last naughty roo became stew.

I had EE roo that was an ol meany head. He was my first roo, and I thought "oh, hes just a rooster" so I carried the stick with me everywhere. The kids were banned from the coop, he would try to get people through the fence. IT was hideous. Then I got into Orpingtons, and realized that nice roosters DO exist. My Orpington Roo I have now acts the same as the hens towards people. It may not be the best survival trait for a roo to have, but I love freindly chickens, and I don't need any chickens fighting to survive. My chicken philosophy is now that any mean roo gets eaten. No questions. I have had to many nice roos hatch out
