On a serious note when I used to do a lot of animal rights the person with all the chicken knowledge was a woman called Linda Turvey who runs (or ran) Hen Heaven. Not sure how busy she is nowadays but might be worth giving her an email and asking for her suggestions for a really good book Ditty as what she doesn't know about chickens (notice I avoid the word 'cock') isn't worth knowing.


ooooh!   Thank you!   I might just do that!    

 

I never thought I could get emotionally attached to chickens, but they are really lovely....  even fighty silkie cockeral really...   I admire him in his bravery to protect his hens

Most advocate tucking them under your arm, or pinning them to the ground to make them submit.

Mr Yogi (who once had a pet chicken called Henrietta), suggested sticking the fiesty rooster in a roasting pan.

AWWWWW  Henrietta!!!

 

My two fave hens are called Hetty & Lotty..  (I didn't name them).  They were the two that were mauled by the fox.   We had to nurse Lotty back to health in the greenhouse...   Hetty just needed a shampoo & blowdry..    she's now so tame.   She loves me

The best way to deal with a rampant cock is to turn your back on it, let it peck at you for a few minutes.  The cock will soon be spent, then you can go on your merry way. 


You reckon??

 

I could try this...  at the moment he's not doing me any harm

Trust me, it's a tried and tested method.
