Drstratton - My Backyard Journey Journal

I’ve had several mean roosters. They wind up as mean rooster soup, much to the delight of my granddaughters. I beat one down with a Feed bucket until he was trying to find a hole to crawl into. He behaved for a long time after that. I don’t have a rooster now, I’ll get another some day.

We had one super aggressive banty rooster...I shared about him before...he became dinner!
I really think Roo was just protecting his flock time will tell!

This is my view!

Lovely!!!!

Thank you for the insight. He's almost 5 months old, so still pretty young. He's not aggressive towards me or my husband. I told my son he was just protecting his flock and he will have to figure out how to keep him out of the pen when he has to go in there. For now I will keep him, but if he becomes aggressive towards us, he will become chicken and dumplins!

One trick is to carry a long stick as an extension of your arm and never allow him in your space. Tap the stick on the ground to get him moving away from you. Never walk around a Rooster/Cockerel. Walk through him so he has to move. Good luck..

Thank you! I always walk through them, but I didn't tell my son that and a stick is a great idea. I will let him know.

The high temps are down in the 80's now...yay! I bred Daphne to Buck this morning, I will breed Chloe tomorrow morning! Hopefully we will have baby rabbits around the first week of September!

@Mike CHS I found and ordered some of the Tattler Lids...thank you so much for the information!

You are very welcome. Every once in awhile, they used to have a bulk sale but I haven't seen anything in a long time.

I was able to buy 3 dozen, which shaved a little off of the price!

I brought in 3 eggs today and one of them weighed 62g...almost an X-Large egg. It was laid by Maggie, one of my Midnight Majesty Marans...good girl!!!

62g, 41, 41g

Gives the other girls a hint at what they will be laying in awhile.
