I was terrified of them as a little boy, when we would go visit my great grandmother in eastern Kentucky. You certainly caught him a "candid" moment, didn't you?
When he's in mid-crow at least he's not trying to bruise me! My grandparents had chickens but they stayed in houses all the time. I can still remember seeing chicken feet hanging upside down on their clothesline... but they spared us the dispatching and plucking because of our tender (city-kid) years I suppose.
If you drop-kick him like a football, I promise he won't attack you anymore. Just be sure you are wearing sturdy boots ! (It might take more than once, however) =o)
Besides...... roosters never get tender. Ever had meat you had to chew for three days and it never got smaller in your mouth?
Thanks! But be careful... I have a friend whose great aunt has a collection of over 1000 roosters. One of them is bigger than she is. So far I haven't been able to convince her to take one of the real ones though.
There is nothing wrong with a little kitsch in one's life!
Living in rural north central Alabama. Currently overstocked with pets and poultry. Having lived in several small towns and larger cities, country life is taking some getting used to.
The photo is of Jasmine, fearless protector of the homestead from coyotes, bobcats, deer, herons, airplanes, butterflies and fuzzy little bunnies.

That's a beautiful photo. I love roosters. I collect rooster figurines. Jack hates them! He calls them "kitsch."
