On my other post I mentioned one of my roosters, Rudy, who attacks me. Rudy was supposed to be a hen (aren't all roosters?), so after realizing that my would-be hen crows, and after losing 4 others for various reasons, I purchased 6 more chicks. Well, 2 of these pullets turned out to be roosters also. These 2, one black and one white, I call the brothers as they get along so well. Even though I have 3 roosters, they get along as 2 would. The brothers do not seem to have a mean streak at all. They leave Rudy alone for the most part when they are let out to free range.
The funny part is that when Rudy attacks me, Midnight attacks Rudy and chases him from me. A few times the brothers both chased Rudy away from me. I was thinking it sure seemed like they were protecting me but wasn't so sure. However, last evening Rudy was attacking me all the way down to the garden, which is basically his turf. Midnight came flying low over the ground to attack Rudy and chase him away from me! Now I know that he is protecting me!
