Did you mean your post about training?Ok. I am discounted.
I think you got good one(docile rather than aggresive) to begin with and managed him correctly.Everyone has talked about breeding for personality, but what about 'training' for personality? Is this not a possibility? Starting with a less aggressive breed, couldn't you raise and work with a rooster to get the results you want? I'm not experienced by any means. I have chickens and have raised most from chicks. They come when I call. They calm when I speak quietly to them. Our rooster, Big George, is a mixed breed and a huge, beautiful guy. He is very passive towards humans although will speak up when he sees a stranger. He also has zero tolerance toward dogs and cats and other roosters. He was young when I got him and focused on him a lot. I removed him from his roost at night many times and was only pecked once. He now tolerates it well. I stroke him and talk to him. I also go after him when he's acting inappropriately. Done this for 5 years. He gives me wide berth, but listens when I speak to him. Maybe I just have a smart rooster, but a lot of animals, including birds, can learn behavior management. Why not roos?
Sounds like you had a 'slip'. Even the tiniest peice of missed teste will reattach and continue to create testosterone.The one I did became markedly non-aggressive (wasn't bad to begin with) but still crowed.
The guy filming sure thinks it's funny. Until his dog either get injured or kills that roo......This is a good example of what we are trying to avoid. Plus that fellow looked like he still had his spurs, injury waiting to happen.Andalusian Blue Rooster attack humans foot:
