Ok, confession time here....I raised about 15 chicks from scratch last spring. We had 8 roos as of yesterday. After picking my Mom up to go run errands we drove past a horrific sight---5 roos all trying to mount 1 hen. Fight, scratch, mount, repeat. She would have surely died had we not come in time. Mom and I chased them off of her (she ran and hid among the gentlemanly older roos) and one came and tried to attack her (Mom). Chased it with a board and whalloped its butt. Every single one of them was beautiful. But I checked with a friend, got help, and put 6 out of my 8 roos into freezer packs yesterday. Possibly if I kept them all confined I would have been able to keep them, but when I saw that gang on one young female...

Our two gentlemen are now lords of all they survey...
We roasted the one who always tried to attack DD, Mom, and whoever else he could.
