I hope my roo doesn't get that way. He is a black cochin, and he broods my chicks for me!

I would be (possibly) injuring my baby fuzzies if he rushed me!

When I was a kid growing up in Michigan I used to go visit my Great Aunt Adele on her farm up in Lexington, MI. She always kept a bamboo cane by the door and warned everybody to keep an eye out for the roo if the hens were out of the coop. She had this gorgeous RIR roo that was the meanest thing I have ever seen. He wasn't afraid of anything, not dogs, cats, sheep, cows, nothing! Even the barn cats would head for the trees or the rafters or someplace when he was out. I swear he had fighting blood in him from somewhere. My Aunt kept him out of all the roos because he was the only one that kept her hens from getting attacked or killed.

Anyway, I was up there visiting Aunt Adele one week and the roo came after me from behind. Guess he didn't think I had the cane with me because I turned and smacked him a good one. He went tumbling and before he could get up I grabbed him by his legs and carried him upside down for about 10-15 minutes. After that he would stay on the other side of the barnyard whenever he saw me.

Guess I'm not the only one with an ornry rooster.My BO rooster ( LUKE )attacked my 3 yr old daughter from behind knocked her to the ground and I had to give him a bruiser on his bump the doggone thing! He wasn't aloud back in the coop after that.Put him in time out LOL! He runs away from me now but my kids have to arm them selves with there hockey stick and give him a good lesson not to come near em.My White Cochin Rooster ( DUKE ) is King of the flock and has actually protected my kids from him when they get the eggs.Chased my BO rooster away when he started to come near any of us.LOVE HIM!! I'm looking for a new home for LUKE now.Dumb bird!

My roo did that to me tonight! I was giving the babies water and I guess he thought I was doing something to them. He came at me and hit my hand as I was setting the water down. Without even thinking about it, I whacked him with the plastic feed scoop and he ran outside in to the pen. It was almost an involuntary whack...I felt really bad afterward, but he deserved it. He has gotten pretty bad now that there are babies in there..I want my sweetie back

He has to stay penned up, especially when there are people in the yard...but it has only been this way since the babies hatched! Little punk!
