I've been attacked by a rooster while ON A HORSE. That little fucker saw me on top of a giant horse and thought, "Yeah. I can take that." Its a shame my horse didn't manage to kick him. I carried a whip around after that.

The property was listed for sale soon after that, and I happened to be present during one viewing when some well off family was calmly strolling about, imagining a beautiful, serene life in the country.... when suddenly their small child comes screaming around the house, chased by the rooster at full speed. Thats life in the country for ya.

I have to add to the rooster discussion! I grew up on a farm (hydroponic lettuce now, but we had a small assortment of animals - 30 chickens, four goats, a goose- when I was young), and roosters are SO MEAN! You can't turn your back to them, they *will* attack you from behind. Hens are literally so nice and roosters honestly? bring down the vibe in the coop. Am I still scarred from being attacked by roosters as a child, occluding any objectivity? Possibly.
