May 2024 bring less misery 🥂
I had 5 roosters who like to sit in my lap, be petted, flipped over, ect. and they were never ever aggressive in any way.To be honest - that IS the behavior you want from a young cockerel. Often times, if they loose their respect of you, people tend to see this as loosing their fear of you, but it is not. If they have no respect for you, your space, they often time think that you need to back down from THEIR space and become aggressive.
Walk right through him, do not get down to his eye-level, do not have him sit in your lap - those are all signals that you are less dominant than he is. Make him move away from you. Especially a RIR cockerel that can be a bit aggressive.
A lot of times, an intact male cannot be trusted, his testicles are bigger than his brain.
