............... is getting very, very bossy. He tries to herd Ethel and Lucy away from the others all the time. When they eat, he annoys them. If they go into the coop to lay their eggs, he follows.
They chase him out and then he starts to pick on Amos, Andy and Charlie and they try to avoid him by staying in the run. Even though Goldie is the same age as the other roosters, he is maturing much faster. And he has a wee bit of a mean streak.
Guess I'll have to spend more time with him. Maybe some extra treats will help his disposition a little bit.
Roosters just seem to be ill tempered. One of ours once mad my wife so mad she put it in a box and ran over it with the car. Seeing that, I never gave her any trouble at all from that point forward!
ReplyDeleteI think half of their pea brains are geared to be mean. Don't know what was wrong with Goldie. Charlie is a sweetheart, even though is mom is Evil Ethel.
