I generally get along with all our roos but we had a former rooster who would fight my partner every day. They would have to go outside with a stick in order to just let the dogs out.
amazing to me how few creatures have learned to not be assholes while delicious. It’s like “do you want to be honey barbecue or spicy buffalo? I’ve got a choice of sauces available.”
As someone with over 50, and hatching more this week, no it isn’t.
Well, it isn’t when you have 14 acres… But man they’re so fun to just sit and watch.
(Me living in a 900 sqft rental with three kids… ) hmmm I can raise chickens.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams. I believe in you.
Raise the kids first…
Bah let the chickens raise the kids
It’s fun until you wind up with a rooster that has made it his life’s mission attacking you. Those spurs fucking hurt.

That roo found the cone real quick.
Mine is in a phase of that, but he’s kept hens safe, so I put up with his ass.
He used to not be that kind of asshole though. If he’d started out that way, I suspect he would have been soup
Sounds delicious.
Asshole roosters roast quite nicely. Lots of dark meat and more of a turkey flavor. Not sure if it’s them being aggressive jackasses or not, though.

I had 30 hens as a kid. No rooster. It took some daily upkeep for sure but it wasn’t that much work. They laid well and I made decent money at it.
