  7. Stirrin – who knew it was so easy to kill a chicken with a stick? I didn’t.

  9. Not seeing the “cruelty.”
    Hit the rooster and kill it – in one stoke – is NOT cruelty.
    Roosters can be very aggressive and spur the Hell out of you.
    (I’ve had bleeding holes in my legs from my own roosters – none of which I killed – the neighborhood coons took care of one of them and old age got the other)

    This is a tempest in a teapot.

    mortem tyrannis

  13. Had a big White Leghorn when I was a Teen. That bastard would, for no apparent reason, come after me, and I booted him numerous times, literally with boots on, and he’d stop attacking me and go about his normal pecking around, like nothing happened. That guys kill shot was a stroke of luck. Bad one in this case.

  15. Big Jim’s been drinkin’ whiskey
    Now he’s passed out in his double-wide
    Soon his neighbor’s goddam yardbird
    Starts to crowin’ right outside
    So Big Jim staggered out the back door
    I wouldn’t tell you no lie
    Big Jim done got his big stick
    Whacked that yardbird right between the eyes

    Mr. Saturday night rooster
    Don’t do nothin’ but strut and crow
    That foghorn leghorn
    Should be buried six feet in a hole

  16. If it was me, I would have buried the rooster, then left a note in the hen house ,”Dear owner, the working conditions around here have become intolerable and I am leaving. The paucity of attractive hens, that, and the constant abuse I get every morning at 5am, this has created a hostile work environment. I am going over to the farm down the street where they will appreciate a cock of my abilties. Don’t come looking for me. Oh, and be nicer to that neighbor of yours, he is a stand-up guy”.

  24. I seem to remember a lady get pecked to death by chicken a few years ago in the news cycle. So they can be deadly, lol, my pit bull gets chased around the yard by my chickens.

  29. I am a chicken owner and I’m cracking up. Roos will attack you and they can be MEAN little bastards.

    One piece of information I didn’t get from the interview — where was the roo when the neighbor killed him? On the neighbor’s property? If so, I’m siding with him.

    Keep your pets off my property. If you let them free range and they attack me on my land, it’s on — and bring on the chicken police.

  30. I had two silkie roosters; a father and son. The father became mean and attacked everyone but my son. I launched the mean one a few times and then his son decided I needed protection and kept watch, intervening against his psycho roo father and beat the stuffings out of him. Never a problem after that and my little protector continued to be a friendly, sweet little guy, living to be 10 yrs old and protecting ALL of his hens. 😁🐔

  31. I had chickens go into my garden and dig it, up. Pop in the head with a 22, buried them where they dropped. I never said a word to anyone, that will just bring trouble. I did see a fox in the area.

  33. I’m still laughing at the “victim’s” comments;
    “I didn’t know what to do..give it mouth to mouth, cpr or call the chicken ambulance…?”
    “Chickens are dying everyday people, at Church’s, Popeyes…” LOL!

    Hitting that chicken was in self defense. Roosters can be vicious.
    A rooster chased me when I was a kid. It felt like a Jurassic Park moment. My dad rescued me. It was scary as all get out.

  38. Recently, a peacock had been roaming the subdivision. Nobody knows where it came from and nobody claimed it. Nobody bothered it. I walked outside one day and thought I saw something, perhaps a cat, jump off of my new F-150. When I went to investigate, it was the peacock. He had left the bed of my truck full of poop. No big deal. When I looked along the side rails of the cargo bed, the evil bastard had left numerous, deep scratches in the paint of the body under the plastic, protective caps. The peacock is no more.

  39. Don’t go to sleep on the ground with chickens around. They will go for your eyes. A big racoon boar fell dead into our yard after steppimg on the wrong wire while tightrope walking. My little flock of hens were happily feasting on his eyeballs. They also ate mice. They kept my backyard nearly weed free for over ten years before disease, racoons and old age got them, one by one.

    Not being a farmer, I didn’t cull them when they slowed down laying. The oldest one lived 12 years. When she was about three years old she had the skin pulled off her shoulder by our then new puppy, who was just playing rough but I kicked him good anyway and he never did it again (clever dog). We nursed her back to health and after a couple of years you couldn’t easily tell her from the rest.

    All of them being hens (I foolishly thought I would have a stealth flock in the suburbs, but if you’ve heard a hen cackle, you know how misinformed I was.) one decided to become dominant. She grew spurs and would mimic crowing. She was also aggressive and would attack, but not like a real rooster.

    My grandmother had half an acre of concord grapes. A neighbor raised fighting cocks and wasn’t particular about keeping them on his property. Chickens love grape leaves. My father, after years of complaining “adopted” a young one that had strayed and we kept it as a pet. We were his flock so he didn’t bother us and we kept him in a spacious hutch from which he would crow at the streetlight, to the delight of our neighbors.

    Good fences make good neighbors. Straying pets or livestock are a crisis waiting to happen. If the rooster was off his property the owner is liable for its actions. Of course he will claim his roosters were never a problem.
