I searched for a similar post and surprised found none...so if one has been posted before, my appologies.
I have a NASTY Barred Rock Roo. I have read many things about aggressive roosters and have tried chasing him down beating him with a rake or shovel or what ever is handy at the time. I have ruffled him when he has done nothing and will not allow him to breed the chickens when i am around. I have also just started to catch him and pack him around with me when he attacks me..and he gets packed around for a good hour. Today, again he was coming for me, and luckily i turned around just in time and he fell over trying to turn around fast as he saw me turning around to catch him in the act. I honestly don't want to put him in the pot, he is just a yr old now and i kind of like him. But he is pissing me off to say the least. Has anyone been successful breaking a nasty rooster? and....now that i have some more chicks coming up, i would like to keep a rooster from each variety..is there any way to stop the nastiness from coming out
thanks...bigrock
