re:locals PE#002

I'd like folks to contact with lists before Oct 11th so we will know how many/much is coming.
so we know where to set up either out front or down the side of their parking lot

Hope to see some SC Locals there.

So I have 2 Silkie roosters that I am going crazy with. As far as roosters go the do the job just fine and have never dropped a wing to any person and they seem good when they are by them selfs, but get them together and they become evil little minions! They work together as a team. One does not seem to be higher then the other in the pecking order but they tag team all the other roosters! And the hens... But that's another story...
They have risen to the top except for my BR rooster, but even he is so fet up with them I think he is contemplating murdering them in there sleep!!! Once in a while he gets one by himself and politely reminds them how small they really are but when they get together and start messing with him, it's like watching something from WWE where the little guys come out and tag team the big guy and the big guy can't do anything cuz the little ones are all over the place and if you focus on one the others gonna get you....
It's pitiful to see the confused frustrated look on the BR face! Nobody is getting hurt yet but some how this constant harassment has got to stop. I need to get rid of one and I think it will be fine but it seems like no one wants a silkie roo..... I normally eat my extra roosters but I always have a hard time butchering the bantams. What to do what to do.

I have five Silkies that were straight run and at least 3 turned out to be roosters and possibly a 4th.
Anyway, the three main culprits are isolated in a open run by themselves because they're too ornery to put in the main run and they beat up on the one pullet pretty bad which I can't have.
They go at it pretty good first thing in the morning and one of them even bum rushes me when I'm in the run.
I drop him in and he turns, drops a wing and bounces off my boot. Lol
The noise those three make trying to out crow one another is like a poke in the ear with a sharp stick.
I should have named them after the Three Stooges because of how they go at it and one of them ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
At first I was afraid they'd kill one another and after a while they seemed to calm down and with the exception of the morning, they settle down and coexist pretty well.
Too bad I have an aversion to the idea of eating black chicken meat, or they would have been dinner weeks ago.
I bet my neighbors love me.

About the only thing I could suggest would be isolate them if possible.

It's funny yet not funny !!! I had a lil guy like that . He was less than half the age of my 2 silkie roosters but was so fast & mean they were so afraid of him ..they both hid all day from him..smh. I posted him & his brother on Craigslist for free & a lady took them as pets

It was getting dark by the time I got to feed the chickens tonight. (Long story) Something bumped into my leg a couple of times before I saw that it was the white leghorn cockerel. I was thinking 'They can't hardly see in the dark' but then it ran around the dish and flew into my leg again! Guess we'll have to see what he intended in the morning;-) Fried chicken here oh fried chicken there....here a wing, there a leg, everywhere a pluck pluck....
