Carry a Stick into the coop.
We had one that we knocked out 7 times. Each time I thought. "Well' there goes that rooster" each time he woke up meaner than ever. I sold the whole flock after raising a new batch of layers.
Our new rooster is Mello- yet
Agree. We have "the stick" next to the back door that the kids still grab when they feed the chickens and grab eggs. It's been the same stick for years. Snakes have died by and roosters have been whacked with the stick.
This thread brought back some fun memories of watching my children being chased and screaming as they ran back to the house. My wife and I would die laughing. Even my now high school son who is mister tough guy wrestler is on video screaming and crying being chased by roosters when he was younger. To this day, he still grabs the stick.
