Now, before any of y’all get your feathers in a wad. I am NOT a supporter of cock fights, dog fights, people fights or any violence in general.
And, all I wanted to do tonight was watch the Academy Awards. I’ve been looking forward to it for days. Only, when I went to turn it on I couldn’t pick up anything other than Dateline and Andy Griffith re-runs. And, Addie used up all my internet data watching Scooby-Do. No live steaming for me, not on this night.
So. Since I thought these two roosters gave an Oscar-worthy performance themselves. I’d just go ahead and give them their moment. Like I hope Leo gets later tonight. I’ll read about it in the morning. My heart will go on.
But, back to the roo’s. I wrote last week about the Rooster Next Door. Well. He was visiting unbeknownst to me. And I let the chickens out for a bit of freedom. Then, all hell broke loose.
Here comes Doodle, full speed across the yard toward Randy……..
BOOM!
Knocked. Doodle. OUT.
But only for a split second…..
I never knew chickens had such control over their feathers, they looked like lions!
Pause for a moment here. I would like to point out all this happened in a matter of less than a minute while Addie ran to the house to get the broom which I used to whoop them apart.
I have to admit, it was a bit fascinating. I have a whole new respect for them.
These fellows are SERIOUS about defending their familes, or in the case of Doodle, trying to steal a family.
The broom arrived. Doodle went home.
And the Oscar goes to……
Randy.
But I think he already knew.
I remember being chased by a rooster when I was a child! I now have a rooster complex! Excuse while I take a valium from seeing this! Haha!

Wow! An epic rooster battle for sure! I am surprised you were able to keep your cool and get the photos. I’ll bet Addie was speeding to get that broom! I just wish she had taken pictures of YOU getting them apart! That would have been hilarious, too!
