Hopefully Thor's first chicken episode will be his last. The rooster was where he shouldn't have been, on the west side of my house. The rooster is now missing 95% of his tail feathers and a large chunk of feathers from his back. Thor obviously was playing and not trying to kill it or the rooster would have been dead. Thor did drop the bird as soon as I yelled at him. He knew he was in trouble. He was severely chastised but I'm not sure I put the fear of death or dismemberment in his mind for the infraction. I did not strike him. However, if it happens again sterner measures will be taken. He also chased one of the cats today. He is obviously feeling quite comfortable at Prairie House now. Discipline will apparently need to be increased as he is very much still a puppy in spite of his size.
Maybe I'll just turn him over to Mulberry and Ginger. They are good a getting his attention and keeping him under control.
