Giant roosters are dangerous.
   
Seriously. I went to visit a relative who has pigs and chickens and his wife let out the black shiny 3' rooster and I was packing up the car the creep did a kung-fu spin and pecked one thigh and sratched my calf on the other leg. Not a pretty sight. Someone just had to mention bird flu though. People who don't know farming and animals shouldn't bother with them. That's it for me, I'll never ever visit again. Hey, it could've been my child who was attacked.

1. Size isn't everything.

My MIL used to keep chickens.

All was fine until she got a banty rooster.

Dang thing kept attacking her every single time she went outside.

Do they have any geese? Geese are far worse.

I can't believe you are such a ninny.

Let a 3' rooster do the kung fu attack on you and then you can call me names. Wanna see my wounds?

20. Geese!!!
   
Two Canada geese came after my dog on the riverwalk the other night. She had some pretty nasty wounds. Now she doesn't want to go on the riverwalk anymore. We just walk in the park.

They really are ferocious! Which is what I told her before she began bothering them.

8. Oh, hell yeah!
   
I get these mutant birds from a hatchery called Cornish X. They are not dainty. If you let them get older than six weeks old, sometimes their legs collapse under their bodies. The goal is to eat them before that. Well, once I was sick at the time we should have dispatched them and they got out and we couldn't catch them. The hens were the size of geese and the roosters looked like mutant, evil swans. I have never had a gun on my property but we had to have a friend come out and shoot them. You don't WANT TO KNOW what they were doing to each other.

12. I believe you about geese.
   
But, having never been attacked by one, can you tell me what they do to get the opponent to back down? Batter with the wings, hammer with the beak, what is it?

14. They bite.
   
Their beaks are strong, and the bites can be painful. They also fly at you, beat their wings, threaten you with their feet, and squawk. But the bites are the worst.

When I was a kid, I knew someone who would get his mother's geese drunk by soaking their food in whiskey. It was very mean. The geese would stagger around. Sometimes they were even more ferocious when they were drunk.

13. Not my rooster - he's a big baby...
   
but he's never lived around and fought off other roosters. Once upon a time we had one that would attack people. If they have fully developed spurs - OUCH! It would leave quite a puncture wound.

17. ANY rooster can be dangerous.
   
I've been attacked by both small and large roosters over my years. This is the reason I started taming Arnie when he was a chick of 4 weeks. He is of a sexual dimorphic color developing breed, so I could tell he was male early. Started picking him up, holding him until he was quiet since he was 4 wks old. He is a couple yrs old and I still do this, letting him know that I'm the bigger rooster, so to speak. If I have to pick up another chicken and it squawks, he never runs to the rescue, but one of his sisters does and pecks at me. She is almost stew, but so far is still clucking.

I will admit that holding a big rooster on it's back, cuddling in the the "baby rooster" pose looks silly, but it keeps everyone alive, happy and clucking.

If a rooster gets agressive towards people, off he goes. There is no need to keep one that hurts people.

18. Some roosters are very aggressive.
   
I have 2 large roosters, one gold, one black. My black rooster is the largest I've personally ever seen, although he isn't 3 feet tall. My roosters get along with each other, and have never shown any tendencies towards aggression. My little grandson gathers eggs, and they don't bother him.

Interestingly, when I raised this flock, I gave some hens and one rooster to my mom. She was hesitant about the rooster, so I gave her the mildest-mannered one of the lot. He turned out to be a holy terror, and ended up in the stew pot.

Perhaps you could request that they don't "let the rooster out" while you're there? I wonder if this is a first attack, or business as usual for this rooster; perhaps seeing the bird attack a guest will convince them to keep him penned on their own.

19. We sold all our mean roosters and kept Mandalore, our beautiful black rooster.

He is penned up with his hens now, but I miss his puttering around the property with me, talking to me, catching bugs.

He is so sweet, I am going to try to get some babies from him. I believe he is a Java.

The other roosters were game roosters or Golden Campines and they were mean to everyone but me. I do not miss them.

Sorry one got you. Their spurs are sharp. Ouch!

21. I lived for a time with relatives on their farm in Oklahoma. Now why on Gods green earth would you put a child in charge of gathering eggs. Thank goodness my trusty cocker spaniel would chase them out. He wouldn't bother the nesting ones, so that helped me. And then there was those damned geese. They kept cornering me. My aunt told me about carrying a stick with me. After hitting a few upside the head, they left me alone. And they wonder why I love goose at Christmas. I never had that problem with the wild geese. Ask me, I can give you some good recipes for cooking rooster. Pet chickens are another story-they and pet pigs are the best.

22. My grandson is in charge of gathering eggs.
   
Neither of my 2 large roosters has ever bothered him, or anyone else. If they did, I'd replace them. Between the two, the australorp is larger and more magnificent looking. He struts more, is louder, and is always declaring himself "king of the world." He's also fairly chickenshit, pun intended, when it comes to being challenged. He'll run up behind us, but run away when we turn around. Still, he's never raised beak or spur, and tends to strut a few feet away. The other, a buff orpington, is calmer and smarter. He has no fear and will come right up to anyone, including the dog. He has never exhibited any desire to challenge anyone at all. He gets along fine with the other rooster. In spite of the size and strut of the australorp, the orpington gets first pick of hens.

Maybe the breed and/or setting influence aggressive tendencies?

25. I had a vicious cock once
   
He actually sunk a spur in my leg and my whole leg swole up and was infected.

I let him pass on that but he got me one morning when I had a stick in my hand and I swung and accidentally broke his neck. Kinda felt bad cause he was like 8.

I never paid much attention myself, but I've seen roosters that looked pretty sizeable.

I imagine maybe some of them can.

But the bottom line is, it's a Hell of a lot easier to buy some chicken at the grocery store.

I have no idea why primitives make life so difficult for themselves.

By the way, for the record, my thinly-disguised contempt for the rural primitives does not reflect upon my opinion of one of our most illustrious members here, Delilah.

There's a big difference.

Delilah is a Kansas country girl, born and raised in authentic farming practices; she does the real thing.

Many of the rural primitives are city yuppies, yippies, and yappies seeking a "less complicated life," although at the same time keeping all the modern conveniences.

Like the Vermontese primitives, who are about as rural as franksolich is Chinese.

Delilah does the real thing, while the rural primitives are simply trying to "re-create" old rural arts and crafts.

It's kind of like the difference between being a veteran of the real Civil War, and someone playing out a "re-enactment" of the Civil War 150 years later.

You know, roosters can get pretty big but in my experience, the bigger they are, the sweeter they are. Unless they're cross breeds and one of the crosses was a Polish or something. At my house aggressive roosters are called "dinner". But some just need a little reminder whose the alpha rooster (that would be me)...kick them across the yard a few times...with some that's all you have to do. If that doesn't work, well you just wait til morning and get them before you open the coop door. Grab them by their legs and carry them upside down so they stop struggling. Hold the rooster in one hand, the .22 in the other and shoot the ****er in the back of the head...stops an aggressive rooster every time. Banty's are mean little pricks...like most metrosexual DUmmie males they've got that "little" man complex...and you can't sex them before they hatch like other breeds. Of course, I've never had a 3' rooster. I have Henry, a Buff Brahma, 2 Blue Cochins, My Babushka and Beauregard, and 2 Cuckoo Marans, Jester and Max and they're all big ***** cats (they also father the most chicks because they're really sweet to their hens...which proves the adage about attracting more flies with honey). They're large breed...Henry and Jester may be 2' tall, but if you see a 3' rooster, I think you probably ate the brown acid. Anyone who keeps a mean rooster around is an idiot. You want a guard bird get guineas, geese, or peacocks.

I've lived in a rural area all my life. We've had chickens. My grandparents have had chickens. A lot of the folks I do work for are farmers, and they have chickens. I've yet to see a rooster 3' tall. With that said I would figure one of the following is true:

1. The DUmmie is telling a complete lie as DUmmie's are known to do.
2. Blackie the Ghost Chicken has returned.
3. Delila is correct and the DUmmie has purchased or stolen some very good drugs.
4. The creature in question was actually a dog, and the DUmmie was too stupid to know the difference.

Even though I appreciate ghost chickens as much as the next guy, my money is on 1, 3, or 4.

I just noticed that the rooster did a "kung-fu spin". I missed that before. Maybe the rooster was CLuck Norris.
