I've only read the first page (hilarious).

I would get myself to the fancy dress shop PDQ - not for a chicken outfit though. This rooster needs to know who's boss.

I am sneaking in from work

Silkie cockeral had a go at my friend Hazel this morning...     she was just standing outside the barn, enjoying the pleasant weather, with her coffee... & over he charged... and chased her back into the barn.

So we both went out there...  & ran  around the 3 silkies.. one of us clockwise the other anticlockwise... waving our arms around & making woooooooooooooo noises (dunno why we did this... it was a spontanious thing ),...

its bloody worked though..     now, when I approach him he backs off!

I think we've just totally freaked him out

Ignore last post...   I just went out for some quality time with Hetty the hen...   & he charged at me again.

NEXT time I go out I am taking a carrier bag with me

I think you're going to have to sit him down and have it out.  Tell him (firmly but kindly) that you're not going to stand for it anymore. (eat a chicken salad slowly and deliberately while saying this, and look him STRAIGHT in the eye)

failing that, you might want to get a chicken whisperer in...

omg!!!  look at him!!

He's wearing half my chickens...

& whats with the lace up the sides trousers     He looks more like something that rhymes with chicken plucker than a chicken whisperer!!

Heck, what happened there ^^^ 

Ditty I was just talking to Old Father Cinds and I mentioned your cock problem to him.  What he said is that you have to physically dominate the cock.  Chase it, catch it and pin it to the ground.  Once should be enough, but he said you might have to do it more than once.  it's basically a case of showing him who is boss.

And that my dear was a dead serious answer 

(I apologise to all of the other ladies (if my advice works) who have enjoyed the cock fun as much as I have)

Well It's not every day we get to discuss cocks and don't get a ban stick waved at us. 

 It's like a bookmark

Just the thread I want to bookmark as well..........

Sez, Cinds...    thank yous... 

The pot options isn't mine to make...  not my chickens

I'm off out there now to eat my sandwich in the sun.   I will take a bag with me to pop at it...   if that fails & he is hassling me I will try the pin down approach... 

Right...  I'm going out there right now...  

@ this thread!!

Be careful out there!  

*eagerly awaits the report back from ditty the dominatrix *

Is this the right time to start talking about choking the chicken? 

!

Lol

Oh my stars you have me all of a flutter with this thread

not yet Cinds....

I think Mr Silkie & I are at an impasse ....

I sat on one of the big rocks in the middle of the lawn, eating my sarnie..   I was dangling my legs & kinda kicking back at rock...   he came over & thought about it, but backed off...   

I then waited til he had wandered off before I came back in the barn.

So... I am determined now..  I will not run from him again..    its now a battle of wills...    

it might come to a point where there are feathers flying (hopefully if it does there won't be anyone else here to see it... not quite sure how well it will go down with the bosses wife if she comes round the corner & see's me wrestling with her fluffy xmas pressie)

Hahah!! The trick is though not to fight him.. that reinforces his idea that you're a chicken , like they said on that forum. Just dominate the wee toerag!  

Ohh, just thought.. maybe he's not fighty, maybe he just wants to add you to his harem! 

Tomorrow make sure it's a chicken sandwich! He might be a bit less forceful if he knows you  mean business!

Does your boss know his cock is the focus of an internet discussion?

and have you complained to him about it being out of control?

 no 

and no 

OMG they even have one for us gingers 

Someone needs to update Wiki about your Silkie chickies 

"Silkies are well known for their calm, friendly temperament. Among the most docile of poultry," 

pfft! at wiki!!

There are some silkies with curly hair (well feathers) too pengy..  they look like the poodles of the chicken world

Aww so cute.PMSL at thread.I'd love to keep chickens but we are visible by two roads so the two legged vermin would have them rather then the urban foxes,the same reason our two late bunnies were house rabbits.

I'm seriously considering having chickens (no cockerels) if my brother ever gets around to building my chicken coop that is 

However, I can't make use of the eggs because I'm allergic to them  so I'll be giving the eggs away 

Right so...   today...

I open the barn door & look out...

He see's me

I bottle it...

awwwww but he so doesn't look threatening 

Har har! Aww he's a brave wee guy proecting his hens.

soooo.... later on I am trying to have some quality time with my fave hen Hetty...

and over he comes again...

He's a sod...   but I still kinda love him

I know...   it does make it kinda funny...  this fluffy little white thing hurling itself at my ankles

I know Katty...    he's a brave brave little thing

That girlie one is egging him on....groan.

Well that's one mighty fine looking cock, I've never seen such a fluffy one.

why thank you
