Larry--As luck would have it I have a rooster story too. Also a few experiences with geese I wish were not in my memory banks. My Great Aunt Grace had a rooster that was like Solon's it patrolled the grounds between the house and the outhouse. I hated that bird. It feared nothing except my Aunt Grace [Definate intelligence there she was the toughest woman ever born.] and adults with brooms. I could keep it off with a broom (I was around 10 or 11 at the time). So we were in a war. I managed to rout it one time. I snuck around the corner and there it was a few feet away head down and feeding. I got a great kick in and rolled it and then another like chasing a soccer ball. Sent it running when it got to its feet. Unfortunately I thought it was going to keep running. I turned my back to walk into the house. That damned bird hit me square in the back. I really got laceratated. This upset my Aunt Grace a lot (my telling of the battle didn't include my kicking it first as I didn't think it was relevant) and she whopped it with a broom but I remember her saying she couldn't kill it because she needed it for the hens. Didn't make sense to me at the time. Her geese I had no chance against. First time one of them got a hold of me I was down at her pond swimming. Snuck up from behind while I was chasing a crawdad in the shallows. Lord God! Like having someone latch onto your butt with a set of vise grips. I didn't have much butt at the time either so he had a lot of it involved. Best we could do with the geese was rock them and run if they decided to fight it out. Druss
