I thank you so much for the great read on "Roosters" and their behaviors. I do have one Blue Wyandotte I have raised from a chic. He is only 5 months, so I keep expecting him to get aggressive. So far he is mostly tame. He came at me only once and I immediately picked him up and carried him around his flock. I think he respects me as boss and I continue to carry him and pet him frequently to keep reminding him. Your advice is very "common sense" thinking!! I am a horse owner too, so I know the importance of "respect" from your animals. I am sure your article will help many others too!! Good Job!!
