      Fozzy is the first cat to the food dish everyday. He especially enjoys the juice in the canned food, he’ll lick the juice then push the other cats outta way to lick their juice too. But he does hunt I have video of him catching them and eating it. 🐱

    Google says that roosters will let the hens peck at them because it helps with “maintaining social order” so that’s interesting ! And if there is a bully hen that’s going after others some people say to remove the bully for a few days 🤷‍♀️ chickens be crazy ! Also the spurs can be removed painlessly, but you’d have to watch a UA-cam vid on that! Good luck farmer man! And thanks for caring for all your animals ❤

    Chad this video brought back a memory of my younger years when I used to do photography as a hobby. I once drove all the way from Toronto to Algonquin Park in the fall to take pictures of the scenery. Weather report said no rain , no clouds, so one Saturday morning I drove to the Park . Sunrise started good, then the clouds rolled in drizzle.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. I never went back. At least you are on the farm, and your filming is digital. Nicely done 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦

      Back in the early 90’s I was right into photography I took classes at George Brown college for 2 years. Landscape, wedding and portrait stuff on a 35 mm too. Never used what I learned outside of my own hobby, but it’s kinda coming in handy since starting UA-cam. I have a Nikon 750 as my big ticket dslr but it’s not for video more for still shots and takes incredible photos.

    My grandmother would pick up the rooster, flip him over and take a pair of pliers to the spur… they pop right off… you can also use toenail clippers for dogs if you just want to trim them… tomuse the pliers, just get a good grip and twist a little one way and then back the other direction… if he bleeds, it will only be a tiny bit but you can use cornstarch on the bleeding spur and it will stop pretty quickly… just don’t put him back with the hens if he's still bleeding…
    Have a Merry Christmas! 😊😊😊😊

      Thanks for the tip, that’s what I think I’ll do, just break it off so it can start fresh. It’s interesting though that him Big Red, MJ and Elvis are all the same age but their spurs are nowhere near the size of Big Red’s, probably just cause of the breed. Cheers.

    I trim my roosters spurs by just picking them up, & trimming them in segments like a dog’s toenails. I use sharp garden pruning shears. They don’t mind, but if you cut too much it will bleed like a dogs toenails. So I don’t take too much. Just enough.
