So far all my roos are gentle. Just when you go in to feed, and you know which one is the roo ( after a spell )pick it up and just hold on to it and talk to it. This how I have done it, and my kids, when they order chicks now, do the same thing when they order a roo for the fair to show him. Works all most ever time. Once in awhile you get one that is stuborn enough for Sunday dinner.

Thanks for the tip!

Where is Conklin? I have family in Battle Creek.

Would love to find out what black or raspberries grow good there, my great aunt and uncle had the most delicious berry patch when I was a kid!
Would love to know what variety of berry it was, and try to grow it here.

Hey, believe it or not, some people want a rooster. I found homes for many of my roosters (some of them were genuinely good homes) posted on my local www.craigslist.org
