Cock a Doodle....Arck!

I keep thinking about the nursery rhyme "Who Killed Cock Robin?"

Why, you ask? Because my resident dominate rooster, Rocky, has been getting just a bit cocky. I don't mind the crowing, but he chases and fights the rest of the flock. And he has been blocking the others from coming out of the coop. I finally have resorted to taking some time and shutting the others in the coop and leaving him in the run. Not ideal, but at least then they can eat and drink from the alternate food and water I have set in the coop, without his interference.

And while he may not be full sized, I have decided that the end is near for bossy obnoxious Rocky. I really don't want an aggressive bird. Hopefully If Mumps is indeed a rooster, he will learn from Rocky's demise. Tomorrow, Hubby and I are going to corral and catch Rocky.

I think there is a soup pot in his future this weekend. Hmmm. Rocky and rice, with veggies anyone?
