Sometimes a free gift is just too good to be true.
So we did get chickens at Rocky Ridge, built a chicken coop out of wood paneled garage doors from the neighbor. A few years of chickens and loving the farm fresh eggs a family friend was getting rid of a rooster. She said he didn't get along with her hens. So we integrate him in with ours and within a week he had pecked all of our hens bloody. So we let him out of the coop and let him roam the 5 acres. He had lots to eat and water. So what does he do? He waits by the back door, which is the door we use to enter the house, and he attacks us as we enter and exit the house. He would scream and dance and jump on our heads, pecking us. So the twins had a friend who had a phobia of chickens to begin with and he freaked out when he came over. So the oldest twin and I decide we cannot live like this and one night after football practice we "take care of the rooster" and burn him in the burn barrel. The next morning we are getting in the car to go to school and we hear rrrrr rrrrr rrrrr from the burn barrel. The vocal cord was still doing its job. So my son and I pull him out and really "take care of him". He was charred and except the vocal cord, dead! Never got another Bad Rooster after that!
