Bad Ezekiel!

Life is Not so Good for Ezekiel...

Ezekiel the rooster has been bad.  As with many roosters, Ezekiel has taken to attacking everything that he feels is a threat to his harem of hens.  Although he rarely hurts a person in his attacks, it is a startling experience to have a large bird flying at you with his claws.  Humans are normally fast enough to swat him away before any significant contact with these claws, but sometimes they are not fast enough.  Fortunately, if he does get your leg, the damage is minimal.  Still, he is one mean bird.  It is nearly impossible to break a rooster of this very bad habit once they start.  I am afraid that once all of the chicks hatch this year in another month, Ezekiel is destined for the crock pot.
