Where he came from - he's been getting too aggressive with my wife.
Of all people he picks on her, she does most of the feeding and care of the coop (always when they are out). I love my wife and she's a real gentle soul. After work she's out there in sandals taking care of them and the rooster wastes no time running up to her feet real aggressive like. The last couple days he's tried pecking at her. I tell her she needs to wear shoes and be more aware of what he's doing (and she's doing too) but that's not her style (bless her heart folks she's the apple of my eye)...
It's just too much. I can see why folks have roosters and why some don't. We have cats and they're outside all the time too, chasing birds and being cats. BUT they're real good about leaving the chickens alone - the rooster though is so protective I'm afraid he'll rip into one of the cats when they're not even doing anything.
My wife is upset, but I don't think she sees this little guy is working up to hurting her. I gotta go get one of the people that gave him to us to help me get him. I have all them in the coop until this is over (cats in the house too)...
Wish me luck...
