Whose been spurred???

[Mrs MIA]

Thanks SC... he is a beauty, and I really hate to do it. But - I will feel better about not having to worry about the boys. He'd knock down our youngest.

Light Brahma, 1 year old...

He's a big beautiful boy, but I think I've given him too many girls and he's feeling a mite over-protective. I didn't raise him from a baby, so we're having a difficult time teaching him who's head roo...

Funny how the timing worked on that...

It's not your fault, TX.

I gave him a fair chance, but he's really big and dangerous. I swear he could take on one of our turkeys and win. I've never seen a rooster that big before.
I wish I had eggs to send, but I only have one 2 year old lt brahma hen right now and for some reason she's not laying.

But my RIRxLB chicks look just like him...

I have 3 of them now, and if I didn't know they were mutts, I'd swear they were pure. I have 4 purebred LB pullets with one roo that are 12 weeks old now... I'm hoping to have eggs in another couple of months.

We'll see how it goes.

 

[tx_dane_mom]

Allright, just keep me in mind. I have one pretty girl whose been laying about 3 weeks, and 4 eggs from Tuffold hen who should hatch Wed, but I need MORE

 

[Mrs MIA]

You got it...

 

[Cetawin]

he is a gorgeous thing...but a roo that attacks without provocation...repeatedly...must go to the stew pot.

 

[LuckyStella]

Oh yeah--Got it this morning. I was warned by Rocko's previous owner that he was a little snotty, but I hadn't experienced it yet.

Just as I was taking the lid off the scratch can he came at me--feet first! Caught me on the leg, but not too bad.

I think the dog--she was snooping around the coop while I was inside--made him nervous. I'll watch for it next time, though!

It was THAT roo that hit you in the face?!?! He's a big beautiful thing, ain't he? I can see why you had a black eye from it. If you already have a replacement lined up, then the only place for that boy is the stew pot.

Who has the last laugh now? *pretending to talk to the rooster*

I know... he's gorgeous, and I really wish he was nicer. I just keep hearing Tx_dane_mom saying "Dead rooster walking".

He got a reprieve tonight. Hubby doesn't feel like doing it until Wed or thursday - we're going to soak him in a brine solution several days and then smoke him on Monday.

He's only a year old, so hopefully he won't be too stringy. I just hate eating food that I've named. :|

I found the photo of what he did to my face - begging pardon, but I was holding back the tears because it hurt like a mo-fo. This was taken just after it happened, too, so the bruising hadn't developed. He got me again just like that on my leg yesterday.
