Aggressive Rooster - Page 3

They are afraid of strange objects-ie. Barbie Dolls, Super Heroes etc.  Have your kids (not to be abusive, just assertive) throw a toy at them if they approach aggressively. I t worked for me (not with my Barbie Doll, but with other stuff !)

LOL Mine doesn't like being squirted with water or flying objects such as frizbyes. Everytime I throw one he lets out a loud scream.

Our roo, Chocolatte, has decided that he does NOT like buckets.  For whatever reason, he tries to peck and attack them.  Scared the poo out of my daughter (almost 8) when she was holding a plastic Easter bucket.  He's a total sweetie and goof when there is no bucket in the picture.  He's weird

I'm a big believer in rooster reform, however 99.9% of the time it's only me and my SO on this farm and we both know how to deal with it.  If on one of the rare visits from the kids either of my roosters were to go after our GS, he'd get one chance because I'd allow for variables that caused it; GS chasing them or wearing a certain color (Zeus hates the colors pink or red).  The second time it happened I'd cull him and quick.

Yes, that was probably it. Natural instinct.

to him she was threatening, hurting his mate,, and taking her away like a dominate roo would.i would hold your daughter and let her give him the treats for a while,,, maybe he'll forget,, lol


EDIT: cause apparently "ti" is a word,, even if you mean "to" lol

When I ordered my birds, I told my husband that these guys get one chance each.  That's IT.  Reform is all nice and well and good for people who don't have small children on site, but I have four and won't tell them they can't go outside.
