I have a barred rock rooster. He was hatched out last year. When we gave all our chickens and ducks away last fall, he got away, so has been the only chicken around here. I have 20 chicks and 5 ducks in brooders now, though. I went down to take care of them today and the rooster would not let me get back to the house. All I had was an empty 2 gallon jug. I could not hit him with it because he jumped back each time, but every time I turned to walk, he flogged me from behind. This went on for a couple of minutes and I am sure I was yelling a bit. All of a sudden I saw a furry blurr run past me and chase that nasty rooster back into his pen. It was our little pom, Buddy. He was not letting that mean critter hurt his mama. LOL After he saw that I was ok, he trotted back to the house and was waiting for me on the deck. I love that little guy. I know of a rooster who will soon be chicken and noodles! Just wanted to share about my little hero.
