Me "I want them all!"
That’s good to know, thanks. We keep intending to get chickens. Maybe someday. But if Cadbury is trying to kill the kittens, he’d be even worse with the little baby chicks.
If you get a rooster like Hank, keep your cat/ away or penned up!
A rooster like Hank was not afraid of the meter reader OR his truck! I don’t think the cat would win that fight.
Their spurs are very sharp, and they would probably disembowel a cat.
When one of my friend here asked me where I got Hank, I told him I found him on the side of the road, which was true.
He said Hank might have been being raised as a fighting cock.
He thought maybe a cock fighting ring got wind of a raid, and just tossed out all the birds.
I have no idea if that was true or not, but that SOB (my rooster) was so aggressive I tended to believe him.
If you look at Rooster called Modern Game Fowl” it’s a carbon copy of Hank.
Disclaimer: I do NOT condone cock fighting, it is a cruel sport! I brought him home as he was starving, and I felt sorry for him.
He was NEVER used in that manner!
Check out these “Silkie chickens,”
They are small, and adorable!
Their eggs are small, however!
They are delightful, and some have “little Hats” on their
heads. I had one that looked like Phyllis Diller and those crazy hats she used to wear. These little chickens are a delight to raise and impossibly cute!
