Why did the chicken cross the road? (funny picture)
We had chickens and usually it's roosters that do that sort of thing. We had one that was especially mean and actually knocked me over. When they have you down, they'll come at you with their big ol' spurrs and that is dangerous. That banty (small species) rooster came at me and I fell down, he came at me with spurrs flying. I rolled over and jumped to my feet and grabbed the nearest thing that could protect me (which was a shovel, I was cleaning up chicken poop) and I popped him upside the head. Rang his bell pretty good. He dropped right now in a setting position and stayed there till just about night fall (we collected eggs twice a day and he didn't much like people coming near 'his girls'). Then two hens came out of the coop and, one on either side of him, walked him into the hen house for the night. He recovered to protect his girls again but gave me a wide berth when I went to collect the eggs.
That kid shouldn't be teasing a rooster. He's bound to get his just desserts if he keeps it up and that will be a sight to behold!
