LOL - Well I'll be dipped. That's an American Bramha. We've got one just like him.

Mrs. AF and my daughters have complained since the day he matured that the bird was an aggressive dick.

I never paid it any mind, the couple of times he charged me I punted him off and that solved who was boss.

So that bird really is an aggressive jerk.

The daughter of a man killed by his pet rooster has warned of the dangers of aggressive poultry after the bird also attacked her young child.

Jasper Kraus, 67, suffered a heart attack after the bird plunged its spur into his leg, causing him to lose litres of blood.

Daughter Virginia Guinan, 33, says Jasper - a dad-of-two and grandad-of-two - was an experienced animal handler, and while attacks are rare, warned owners to watch out for signs of aggression.

Trainee healthcare assistant Virginia, from south Roscommon, Ireland, said: "You wouldn't think a chicken can be dangerous - but they can be.

"It was a malicious attack, absolutely brutal. There were litres of blood all over the floor when I arrived.

"This particular bird was thought to be a nice and docile breed, and good for children. But this shows any breed can be dangerous."

Roosters are supposed to be aggressive.

Their job is to protect and breed their flock.

Oh I know, but he kind of failed at that job.

We had a bobcat pick off a number of birds last year, and Duke, the rooster, fled.

I think the flock sensed that and that is why they turned on him and Anakin is now Alpha.

That said, I've had plenty of Rhode Island Reds that were good roosters without being overly aggressive to the humans or hens.

Rhode Island reds have always been my go to breed, they're what we kept as a kid and over the years I've always gone back to them. Best farm chickens I've raised.

Nasty bird!! Arrgh. There is a reason I have my staff with me when I feed them.

They are my favorite.

Hardy, good meat birds, great layers, long lived, not too aggressive or trouble making and good looking birds.
