Rooster Fight

February 26, 2010

in Farm Critters

Most of our roosters are penned up by themselves and in need of a new home. (Anybody want some?) Some younger ones have grown up and need to go in the rooster pen, leaving just the old Polish Silver Laced Rooster and a white mutt rooster.

Every once in a while, they decide to have a little fight. It usually doesn't last long.

.
But as you can hear, the guineas egg them on, hoping for a bigger fight!

Then before you know it, they're done and just scratching on the ground, looking around for something else to eat.

Boys will be boys, and roosters will be roosters.

I’m guessing since they aren’t penned up, that they mostly stay out of one another’s way.
It’s always amazing to me how they get those feet out in front of them and still manage to stay upright.

Pretty much. They’ve got a number of acres to roam on that aren’t wooded and under the dogs watchful eye, so they can do their own thing most of the time.

Lol, dear roosters. Our roos only fought when they were young and establishing themselves. I always say it’s when their hormones kick in. Now that they are adults they have their own order, and chase each other around if they get in each others way. They know who is the boss. And yes, the guineas do egg them on. “Fight! Fight! Fight!” they cry! Just like kids in school!

It’s true, it’s true! That testosterone on the farm can cause a lot of trouble, ha, ha!
