Cock-a-Doodle-DON'T!! (UPDATE)

I think Buddy is still po'd about that earlier incident of getting kicked in the butt by Honey, and all.    He's really developing an AT-TI-TUDE problem!!  What's unfortunate for Buddy, though is, he's beginning to take out his hostilities on ME!!

For the third day in a row, now, when I go to the barn with the "goodie bucket" (that's all the food scraps from the kitchen) and all my "chickie-babies" are running to meet me & follow me into the coop, Buddy circles round behind for a sneak attack! 

First time he came at me, I was quite surprised!  Had I not been wearing jeans, he would've surely drawn blood, and even through my jeans, he left an angry red scratch mark!  When I whirled around, in astonishment, he simply puffed up his feathers & glared at me, as if to say, "wha'd'ya gonna do about it??"    My Barred-Rock rooster, Kellogg, witnessed the attack & tried to come to my defense....as best a rooster can! He charged at Buddy & ran him off, giving me enough time to dump the goodie bucket in the feed tray and leave.

Since that time, I carry a hefty wooden stick with me, when I am in Buddy's presence.  So far, I've not had to actually inflict PAIN on him with my stick, but I fear that day is not far off!   He seems to prefer the sneak attack from the rear.  (HE doesn't know about, but my kids can atest  to,  the 'eyes in the back of my head'.)  I've had to strategically place the wooden stick between me & Buddy on more than one occasion, now.  

You might say Buddy is learning how to POLE DANCE.....and if he's not real careful, he's gonna dance his way right into the dumplin' pot!!  If Buddy only knew how scrumpciously GOOD my dumplin's are.....he wouldn't take such chances!!
