My experience makes me tend to agree with this assessment, but I'm one of those wusses who can't kill, sorry, so I'm looking for other ways of dealing with it. I guess it would be different if I had little kids or visitors much, but its just me and the stroppy rooster, and I tell myself its the joke of the ages, people have been dealing with stroppy roosters for thousands of years and I guess I can suck it up. And i got him as an egg from the neighbour and have NO plans to breed him. I think of him as basically hen bodyguard. But, truly, if you do breed a calm rooster I'm so interested!
