The Rooster Who Pecked at Mom One to Many Times



My sister asked me to explain the situation here. The rooster was doing his job very well of protecting the hens. He just also protected them from me, the kids, and any stick we could find. He would attack us when we tried to give them food and water. He would use his spurs on the back of his heel, run up and try to get you in the face. SCARY!! He also would peck at us when opportunity arose. He was MEAN!! So, "off with his head"!! I run this brood, dude!!

Jeff has wanted to live off the land for awhile now. I told him to have at it. He enjoyed the experience and we're having rooster for dinner tonight. (some of us anyway)

The little kids came away unscathed. Jeff told Molly we were going to eat him and she shouted with glee, "I want some".

Poor kids. Poor poor chicken. :( I would never make it as a pioneer.

We were just polling our BBQ guests on killing a chicken - we have wild turkeys that run through the neighborhoods and I wish some would meet a similar end.

I was laughing so hard - I think it was the laugh track and of course the great marital discussion! We miss you guys!

I think Jack, Molly, and I are scarred for life!!!

This was hilariously gross. I'm with your friend... I'd never make it as a pioneer!

What the freakkkkkkkkkk? I'm sitting here eating breakfast and I tune into my grandchildren being traumatized and Jeff rather enjoying the art of killing a rooster with a butter knife. Was that the same rooster the kids were cuddling and smiling over when it was a baby? You're sick, sick, sick. And I wouldn't make a good farmer or pioneer either. My chicken comes from the store.

Yes, Ben went from "watch this Jack" in the beginning to "your children" in the end.

Jeff has been wanting to kill and eat something for awhile. Well, I gave him his chance. He learned the importance of why we sharpen our knives.

He spent the rest of the night plucking and cleaning it. He loved it!! I more pix.

That boyscout needs to sharpen his knife - it's as sharp as a marble! Oh by the way, is Jeff available for the role as Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Roosters"?

That's funny. Didn't know you have chickens. We just got 4 hens a few months ago. We think they are great!

"Why the HELL would we tie it up?" Um, I don't know, maybe because you're going to try to sever it's head with a plastic knife from Molly's kitchen? WHERE's THE HATCHET PEOPLE??? Good call on tying it up Jeff!!! I love this, the circle of life at it's finest. . . I love the boys in there with the towel to catch it! SO FUNNY! This one is going to go down in family history.
