@JacquelineJ what did you do as the "right thing" ?
I "harvested" him. In fact we ate him a few days after this post and he was tough til the end. lol. But before you think i am being callous, it was probably the hardest thing I've done since I acquired hatching eggs, and I still have moments of crying about it. He was the only one I got attached to.
Icelandic keepers here (and also in America) have a list of traits that we all follow to ensure good practice. One of the cull - able traits is excessive aggression / human aggression. I couldn't "cull" him from the flock by simply giving him away. That would be passing on a problem, and if he'd went to a new home and attacked a child, I'd have 'caused' it in my opinion, and I don't want that on my conscience!
