46. Oh, what a beautiful rooster. |

I have made a point of making my roosters a little afraid of me. I don't like the idea of having to be afraid of them attacking me. As a kid my Mom had a really mean rooster who would leave scars and draw blood from anyone collecting eggs. I have 2 RIR who were very aggressive very young. So, I would chase them off and keep them off the hens while I was in their vicinity.
I have a huge Orpy who never seemed to bother me. He never even ruffled his feathers at me. He seemed very docile. Yesterday, he attacked, scaring me more then hurting me. I chased him and wouldn't let him back into the flock for a few minutes. I swear he sounded like he was growling.
Anyway today all the Roosters are keeping their distance. You never know when a chicken is going to test the pecking order.
