The pecking, the squawking, the chasing around. It sounds gnarly to experience, but it has to be done. And so far, having a rooster has actually been a boon to the integrating adventure!
I’ve tried to research the varying methods available online, and am taking key aspects from each method to artfully create one that suits this homestead. It has been wonderfully successful so far. We’re just taking it slow and easy and making it stress free.
The video below is the second face to face meeting of all together, and they did so well! … for a few minutes. But then the feather pulling began. It wasn’t too bad, honestly. Just a little action, but I went and grabbed poor Dino Dana from the grips of Rosie the red beaked bully. I feel like the rooster was going to protect her but I didn’t want anyone stressed out, so I intervened and scooped her up.
Oh and Mr. Artful Homemaker was caught up in the middle of it. He is kind of scared of birds. 😂
