Oh and I am afraid we are not in Central Minnesota anymore. I saw a fisher here this morning, I did not have a rifle handy!

Those of you without roosters, DO NOT JUDGE ME!!!

It was one of those days. One of the October PC cockerels decided today was the day he became a huge bellybutton.

He has one of my legbar cockerels literally turning in circles like a moose with brain worm. Then he decided to hound the good looking PC cockerel. The worst part is the other cockerels join in. BUT this PC was the worst. He drove the other PC into a corner and just whoomped on him. I picked the other one up and set it on the top of a step ladder. The victim sat there for nearly 3 hours.

When he got down the bellybutton went at him again. These are all free range barn dwellers. I have no idea where the good looking PC went. I heard squawking and saw feathers fly.

I ran the bellybutton down. When I got him cornered he tried to bite and attack me. I almost took his head right then. BUT I relented and decided to give him some of his own medicine.

I threw him in the pen with bachelor roosters (all over a year old)..... He was the odd man out in there. He went in cocky and took on WeinerHead. Stupid move. Weinerhead is 3 I think and HUGE. Then the legbar cocks gave him chase. In about 10 minutes I stepped in to keep him from being beaten, and he actually came running to me to get him out of there.

He was last back free ranging in the barn, when Hobbles came over by him he ran. This is a good sign. He will not get many more chances to reform his behavior before he ends up on the rotisserie.

Do not judge me you non-rooster owners. I know this was the opposite of chicken cuddling, but it is better than taking his head, isn't it?
