Guess who won’t be spurring anyone again. Sleepy Time, shithead.
Had a rooster who would only let my kids in the run with our hens. Always went after me and my wife (didn’t bother me, but the wife refused to do chores). That was fine, because our coop is very close to the woods/creek, and I wanted an aggressive rooster in case a mink or anything else wandered too close with eyes on our hens.

Then one day he went after my youngest daughter while she was playing with the ducks/hens. I figure she must have been getting old enough he finally saw her as a threat to the hens. No injury, but my little animal-lover of a girl was afraid to go back in the run.

About 20 minutes later he was no longer occupying the coop, the dog had a snack, and I had Amazon’d some solar security lights around the coop/run instead…
No more roosters for us.

Trying to convince my BIL (Carpenter/Welder) to buy and start a Honda Goldwing Bobber project…

I like oddball bikes. Found him a local Goldwing with minor body damage and needs carb work for $750. He’s wanted a Bobber project for years, but is holding steady for the right deal on a parallel twin.
 
Never been around chickens much. We grew up getting attacked by hogs and cows/bulls like men
It attacked my sister and I wasn’t going to wait for it to go after my mother. The pigs are already at the butcher and our out of control ram met the gambrel on Sunday.

Cows have calves so they get their free space anyway.
