One Very Nervous Rooster

I don’t know if getting rid of the other rooster was a good idea, now this one has turned into a nervous rooster.  And he wants to attack!  Not good.

Also, he has trouble keeping track of the girls (too many hens for one rooster).

I feel sort of sorry for him, but his need to attack is a problem.  So far Terry and I are the biggest roosters, but real roosters fight dirty.  He waits until someone has their back turned or their head down gathering eggs and he flies at you.  Bad bird!

I’ve smacked him in the head with my flip-flop the other day and Terry had to smack him in the head with a stick.  With summer coming….and little grandchildren who play outside…

I’m going to have to either calm this bird down or give up on the idea of home grown baby chicks.
