    MORE Cockerel Capers!!!!

    The Silver Sussex Cockerel certainly keeps me on my toes! Went to collect eggs today wearing my shorts. Well that was it....... "FLESH".......thinks cockerel and launches himself at my legs. In an effort to protect myself I fended him off with a tray full of eggs........BAAAAAAAD MOVE. Cockerel coming at me feet first egg kicked eggs all over the place.....THEN I LOST IT!!!!!!!
    Comedy capers set in as I started picking up the eggs and pelting the cockerel with them.
    When I ran out of eggs I went out to get some more but when I came back in the run he was standing in the corner looking sheepish and thinking "This guys a lunatic"
    Ah well, certainly brings a bit of interest to chook keeping.

    I wouldn't swap him for the world!

                      I think there is something about Sussex boys, a couple I've had have been thugs, usually picking on my eldest daughter (in her 20s), because she will do exactly what thug wants - squeal and run. Give me Orp boys any day!

                      Can you get hold of him, even by his legs, to tip him over? If you hold him down on the ground for a minute or so, preferably on his side, and where the other birds can see, the aim is to humiliate him, not hurt him, it's an effective and harmless way to remind him (and the hens he wants to impress!) that you are superior.

                        That sounds like a good idea Palmino, thanks. I had a light Sussex which was as docile as anything with my 6 year old daughter but became such a demon with everyone else, we had to despatch him.
                        My blue orp, Hector is normally as docile as they come and I love having him around. Although I saw him attack my neighbour today. Not badly but she had come stomping up the garden and he barely knows her. He just kind of threw his chest at her and kicked her. He gave me such a look when I told him off though. Kept his distance most of the afternoon ;p

                          I have two cockerals and one is so placid the other is a bloody nightmare he tries his luck every now and again but the thing is he doesnt back down. He even tackles the geese I saw him the other day going for the gander the next thing I know there is a loud squawk the cock flies up in the air and there is a goose with a mouth full of feathers. I keep him because I know he protects the girls and is very good at it.

                              Trevor, my beloved cockerel is usually very placid and friendly, but it being this time of year he gets a bit "cocky" and goes for my feet! I go in now carrying a "riot shield" a.k.a. a dustbin lid. He's so used to it now that he doesn't even try to get under or round it!
