Weed loves chicken manure. You can forget about all the expensive fertilizers out there.

My current roo is sweet - has never attached anyone but I’ve had a mean roo in the past.

I feed my chickens organically - 50lb bag went up $15 - that’s insane. I also give them lots of veggies.

If your roo does in your chickens back feathers - lots of people online sell adorable chicken saddles - flower prints with lace - same way people dress up their dogs 😊😊😊
