Bird was just asking in a thread in Rural Living what a chicken tractor is. Well that chicken could drive Bird's Kubota!!! That would be a real chicken tractor!!!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Ahhhh...Steve, I hate to be the guy who has to tell you about the "birds and the bees" at your advanced age, but that there bird ain't no chicken. That's just your average sized Texas ROOSTER. ...there is a difference and some day you may thank me for telling you this./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Of course a chicken ain't necessarily a hen, but don't tell the rooster.

Skent,

/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif That sucker looks just like the one I remember, that used to chase me when I was about 5 years old, although I think our rooster was a little bigger.

Al, when I was about 12 years old, Dad had a white leghorn rooster that he was real proud of. That rooster had a long set of spurs and everytime I started to the barn, he'd attack me. Dad thought that was funny, but I didn't. So Dad told me when the rooster jumps at you with those feet up to get those spurs forward, just grab him by the legs and dip him in the cows water trough and you can break him of that. So I did that; just dipped him into the water and threw him and he took off. But the next day here he came again. So that time I dipped him in the water and held him under and watched the bubbles awhile and when I threw him, he just landed in a heap, then started flopping around like his head had been cut off and scared the daylights out of me because I knew Dad would nearly beat me to death for killing his rooster. Sure was glad when that rascal recovered enough to get on his feet and stagger off. And it worked. He recovered, but he didn't mess with me anymore./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

And I thought I was probaly the only kid who had ever been chased by a rooster/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif My uncle had one that would chase me completely around the barn. He's 84 now and still kids me about that. My uncle that is, the rooster is long dead, somehow got himself drowned in the cows water trough/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

How about the radio-activity symbol on the barn!! Maybe that's Hanford in WA - not TX!!

I did a similar thing to my uncle's barn cat once. I chased him under a car and sprayed him with a water hose. He rolled over and started shaking and then layed really still. I dragged him out and he was breathing, but not moving. I figured he either had a stroke or a heart attack. I just left him laying in a corner of the barn and a few days later he was up and around. My uncle mentioned that he had been a little sick or something for a couple of days. I listened really intently, but I didn't say anything. After all, I was the guy who didn't set the brake on the tractor and it rolled into his barn about a month earlier. I wasn't looking to also be the persecutor of his favorite cat. Silence IS golden they say./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bird, That's pretty funny. When my boys were young (6 and 7) we had a big goose. The oldest boy never had a problem, the first time the goose jumped him he grabbed it by the neck and no more trouble. The younger one was crying all the time from a goose attack. I convinced him that if he would take this plastic bat with him and thump the goose a good one when it jumped him it would leave him alone. Sooo.. off he went with the bat, acting tougher than nails. Goose starts after him, he stands his ground, swings the bat, bat flies out of hand, goose nails him, tears everywhere.

That was about the last time he took any of my advise.
