No, it's because his sharp claws would penetrate the chickens skin, because he was older than them, and we didm't have enough chickens.

I'm sorry about your rooster.
It's a pity about your cock also.

Eggs and chicken meat doesn't materialise on your table via magic.

I always thought they grow on trees already cooked. I guess you learn something new every day.

They're out of the ordinary, normally someone would have a cat or a dog, but having chickens is fun, and they're easy to take care of them (most of the time).
They're so soft, like a living pillow.
They will eat any leftovers. Obviously I give them healthy stuff like cabbage, not Doritos or Pringles, or anything like that.
For the eggs, even though I rarely even eat egg.
They're funny (to me).
They have trust in people, if you take bad care of them, they will NEVER come close to you. If you are nice to them they will trust you and they wll like you. I even managed to make my chicken very tame. They come running up to me in joy.

OP, have you tried feeding them cooked, plain spaghetti noodles? My flock loved it, so we actually trained them with noodles to respond to a call to come to us.

You should have an armadillo then. They are fun.
Actually, when I was little I used to take care of chickens when I'd been visiting my grandparents on summer vacation, give them names, play with them, even guard them from some birds of prey. I still wouldn't take them as pets.

I feel for your cock (there's no sexual innuendo here) :/

Although you are right about that. But what happened was, because of his mating process, he made one of our chickens scared to come close to him, even though he was nice.

That is such a cool idea! I'll have to do that later if my family ever decides to raise and breed chickens. :)

Holy shit. Sorry about what happened to your rooster. I understand how that feels, because my family used to raise chickens and turkeys. It always sucked when something like that happened to them. :<

Thats a shame, but look at it as nature taking its course, its still sad though...
I have 4 chickens, no roosters, they are illegal here.

I keep them in the backyard for egg laying purposes, let them roam around and junk...

He was weak so he should perish. Just joking but your dad's friend should know that putting a new Rooster with other roosters would cause a problem , even if your Rooster is the strongest, let us say he beat one of them but not all of the roosters the rest would hunt him like pig.

He actually was pretty weak, but he was very colorful, and cool.

So what happened was that my rooster (Mr. Rooster) had been causing harm to the chickens , because he kept mating with them, until one of our chickens where bleeeding so we took immediate action. I can't blame the rooster in any way, I know he didn't mean to, it was just that we only had 4 chickens for 1 rooster which had become a problem. So my dad gave him away to his friend. I imagined Mr. Rooster happily pecking at the grass and crowing. Until a few days later I found out my dad's friend had apparently put Mr. Rooster in a with other roosters and apparently the chicken to rooster ratio wasn't right and the other roosters had killed him to the death. My dad seemed pretty calm about it. But i'm pretty sad. Luckily he still have 4 more chickens. And even one of them had a new born baby chicken.
