Here recently twice when I have gone into our chickens run I have had our rooster come at me. The first time I could tell he was going to fly up at me and I deflected him with my foot. He came right back at me and I booted him good and he backed down.
Today I went into the run after giving him and his 10 girls some watermelon and he came after me again. He would not back off no matter how hard I smacked him with my foot. I was trying to get to the door to get out and he was determined to not let me go anywhere. Quite frankly it frightened me a bit because he was NOT backing down. My son heard me yelling and came in with a broom and smacked him a couple good ones.
My question is this...could the color I was wearing either time have set him off? I was wearing a bright pink shirt. We had had no interaction, I did not go after any of the girls, pretty much had just ignored them while I finished what I was doing in there. I am really not liking this turn of events and I am nervous now about letting either of my grandsons go in there. These chickens are treated extremely well, no one ever teases them or abuses them. I am just very puzzled.
