That rooster of y...Thanks for visiting my blog Lana<br />That rooster of yours is going to hurt someone soon. It might be an idea of have some chicken pie and get yourself another more docile rooster. I'd be looking at a buff orpington, they are not aggressive, I have had 3 now and they been lovely birds. I am so impressed with Our orpington roosters.Rina ... also Chester or Daisysmum.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12333551806415149497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-6624721609601194602011-06-05T17:02:46.184-07:002011-06-05T17:02:46.184-07:00B. --- Yes, this week I found out just how strong ...B. --- Yes, this week I found out just how strong they can flap those wings as Big Rooster came at me. They are indeed great for our garden, but I can't leave the ripening tomatoes on the vine for too long or they'll eat them for sure. About taking them to the farm, I've wondered if I could take them by kennel, but am concerned about them wandering off. We'd have to put up a temporary chicken coop out there too. That might be fun.<br /><br />Charade --- Definitely TOO much testosterone. Isn't the wild animal world a mirror for our own existence? Augh...MEN...don't get me started! haha. (For all of the guys in our lives, we love you, even with all that testosterone! Yes, I can only IMAGINE all of the comebacks, my husband is first in line for such wit, but we laugh a lot). I do love the roosters.<br /><br />Linda --- I think what you read about not turning your back on a rooster is absolutely correct. I've quickly learned that a rooster can be a MONSTER! I usually keep a bamboo stick with me as I'm walking out and swivel it around me and that helps, even if I look ridiculous. But, a broom would be better since it is wide bottomed. And my dog is always in automatic herding mode, which includes treating me as if I am sometimes one of his sheep...a good thing when a rooster is trying to circle and charge you. Howdy is always ready; he's the eyes in the back of my head. :-)Lana from Farm Life Lessonshttp://www.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-84360798897134618822011-06-05T11:46:48.968-07:002011-06-05T11:46:48.968-07:00I've read that you don't turn your back on...I've read that you don't turn your back on a rooster.

But, they love bugs and will help in that area of the garden and yard.<br />Falling in love with country life is a lifetime experience....there is alsways something new to love.<br />I am waiting for the day when you say you are packing up the chickens to take them to the 'farm' with you on your weekend trips. <br /><br />Haven't read that book , but am a a voracious reader.<br />B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
