Help! Rescue Rooster flying away!

I guess I should have phrased it as, "Your other rescue." LOL.

Ahhh, Debbie will be fine! My cockerel Cookie has suffered no ill effects from his not so macho moniker.

Omggggg I named it Debrah!!! That will be soooo awkward lol. Poor little thing

I know this post was a long time ago but when my babys refuse to stay in their pen I clip one wing back and that slows them down
if you put them on their back in your lap and spread one of their wings there will be a row of smaller feathers close to the base of the big flying feathers I clip it a tiny bit longer than that eventually it will grow back and you will have to do it again if the problem persists and don't do this to show birds unless its an absolute must. its not a guaranty fix but it usually works with mine I do it for hens to if I have too but I give them a chance to see if they will stop

Thanks! I’m going to give him a few more days, hope for the best and let them out. If he does it again I’ll do a lite clipping like you said and repeat lol.

Haha! That’s funny! I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I totally wasn’t expecting a rooster to full on fly so the first reaction was just ‘awe’, then like ooohhh shoot how do we fix this (since he was high up in a tree in the middle of the woods surrounded by water) completely unreachable lol. Definitely luck that we got him back.

I’m not sure what this little guy is, I know he came from TSC labeled “bantams” ‍

I believe he is a Old English Game (OEG) bantam.
His color is called silver duckwing.
He’s a pretty guy!

Yeahhh he tests us almost everyday. I've never been scared of an animal but I am of him. He charged me one morning during feeding and I've been nervous since
