    Were You Attacked and Injured by YOUR Rooster?

    For those who were attacked and injured by their own rooster, please respond. My rooster attacked me in the face, just missed my eye. I'm not keeping him, but would appreciate input from others. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/fuzzis-chicken-journal.1550586/post-27531561
