I don't think you've been attacked...disagreed with yes. I am about the last person who would ever put a human trait onto an animal.....and it always boggles my mind how many people do. My issue with you giving advice is the fact you've only had a rooster since the spring and it sounds like...

Quote: People put human traits onto their animals all the time on BYC. I don't agree that there is a way for the "right person" to make every mean rooster out there a tame bird. There is a way to handle them correctly and most often that needs to be putting them in the stew pot. Often times...

Quote: I think comparing chickens and cattle is kind of like comparing apples and oranges.....both fruit/critters, but there the similarities end for the most part. How do you suggest a new person to poultry get a roo that they know they won't have problems with? I don't think it's possible...

Quote: I agree with you ..maybe cattle wasnt a good reference when comparing to chickens - I was afraid it would be taken out of context...I meant that ONLY in the fact they are a fear based animal..that I'm sure you can appreciate. We, as well, cannot and will not keep a bad bull - kinda...

I've dealt with many roosters in my 57+ years.....both good and bad. More good ones than bad. Are there roosters that can have a true, lasting attitude adjustment? I'm sure there are a few, but I think there are probably far more that won't ever change their ways no matter how much you carry...

Quote: He's getting a "piggy back" ride - which is what I tell my 3 year old. I have been using some of this with my rooster... he's too fast to catch - so I catch him on the roost early in the a.m. and at night - and grab him and cuddle him and pet him. He cuddles back at that time of...

Quote: There's the other line of thinking tho that the more they're handled and at ease with you the more likely they are to challange you to try and be your superior. It seems like often on here the ones who come on asking why their roo became a monster overnight they comment on what a nice...

Quote: I don't call trying to get a straight answer on how much personal experience or how many roosters you've tried your method on asking personal questions. You said yourself in your intro that you are young. A personal question would be how old are you, your address, your real name...

Quote: Just for the record, my toddler was not out unattended with the rooster. The child, who is 34 years old now, was playing in the yard while I was gardening and the rooster ran across the yard from the barn....probably 40 yards to attack him. The rooster did not get a second chance even...

Quote: I did ask how many you've used your technique on....doesn't that pertain to this thread? If it's two roosters I don't think I'll be trying it, if it's 20 or 30, then I might think about giving it a try. I predict when you've got children and a rooster attacks your toddler you won't...

Quote: So you aren't going to share how long you've been personally raising chickens? I was just wondering how many roosters you've used your technique on. I know you said more roosters than you can count, but surely you've got a ball park figure.

Quote: I betcha when you've had chickens as many years as me (since I'm pretty sure you're a kid from your intro) you'll have come across some that you'll send to the stew pot too. You're right I don't know if you're a he or she, but since I have to call you something would you prefer I call...

Despite the accolades for Yazzo and his methods, there are roosters out there that nothing but a stew pot will cure. I've had a few over the years and any rooster that even looks at me like he's thinking about jumping on me or anyone else goes bye-bye very quickly. It is not a trait that I...
