The Plymouth Rock Rooster We have is One Mean Bird! Yep had to sandal train the one I had standing in the mud with a sandal in hand must of been a sight to see with him walking sideways a bit, never had a problem after that good whack just the occasional “bring it” flap they give you now and then.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

The Plymouth Rock Rooster We have is One Mean Bird! When my kids were shavers, my sons job was to protect his older sister when they gathered eggs as one of their chores. He was the best guardian ever and we had a mean Wyandot rooster. Well one day the rooster went to far and my boy whipped his butt, but had scratches on his arms. That was it, I went out to the barn and we had chicken for supper that night. Then the only roosters we had were a buff and a comet, they were good ole boys. One day I'll tell ya about the wild black australorps lol.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
