Talking of roos i love my Rir rooster. He is cute, he has an amazing character. one day i was trying to catch him and he kept running away, and Roy(the Rir) ran in the barn and literally buried his head in a hay bail.he was all lively and running away one minute but once his head was submerged in the bail he was still as a rock, he's a funny boy. When roy was coming into his manly hood, his hens started to follow him around, before that they would attack him. It was funny to watch because Roy would run away looking quite scared when his Sussex hens chased him. and they would run after him because thats naturally what they would do, but then when they caught up with him they would attack him. It's interesting watching the conflict of nature and instinct.
Does anyone else have any stories about their chucks?
I had a juvenile roo that liked to sit on my shoulder. I have long lashes and one day when I blinked he reacted and pecked my eye. Weird thing was when it healed up I actually saw a little better out of it. (I am farsighted with astigmatisms.)
