Then my dad used a .410. Worked like a charm. No more spurs--our only rooster now is a banty we raised from an egg. We love him. Long live "Caesar"!

I really enjoy reading your blogs, I've been wanting to submit a comment for a long time but nener had the courage to do it until I saw the story about the rooster. when I was four or five we lived in the country we had neighbors that had chickens one day I was playing in my Grandpa's wood yard it was so much fun to play there but this day before I knew it their mean ole rooster attacked me, to this day I have a scar right above my eye and beside my nose,another neighbor saw it and ran and got the rooster of me. every one was scared that he had put my eye out my face was blood all over, needless to say the owners of the rooster had chicken and dumplings for supper. I would like to send you comments more often if you want me to. just pat in WILD AND WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA Hi Susanne

He has never been agressive with me but I have picked him up and carried him around a few times. I also caught him, held him and applied vaseline to his comb and wattles several times throughout the winter (to prevent more frostbite). I have shown him who is boss. Hubby needs to do the same. Now that you have dominated him,lets hope he calms down. You will have to chase him around a few times ever once in a while, when he forgets who is boss.

Big Daddy jumped me from behind and knocked me down...... he went to live on a new farm shortly after. My other 2 Roosters had a smack down and have been fine ever since. I put on my biggest winter coat, a long winter coat, and big gloves. I sat in the yard and let them come at me, one at a time. I shoved them back, blocked them and sad "no" in a stern voice. After a few times they both were done. They haven't come after me since and if I see one of them looking a somebody else I just yell NO and they stop. But you should see the Solicitors run down my drive way!!! WOO HOO The one thing I can not get them to stop is kids!!! I think it's cuz they're short. I don't know what it is but I keep them locked up when kids are around. Roosters are strange….

I loved that movie of you batting him away with the other stick. I laughed...I'm sorry I probably shouldn't but this post was a funny one. You need to show him who's boss! And you did.
