My roo was sweet, didn't crow much but now is attacking me, runs up from behind, and draws blood, several times, goes for my feet every morning as i let him and 2 hens out to roam, has attacked my chihuahua several times as he's retreating, got in with a broody and flung her chick around, i have a rehome offer that i now feel i have to take as i have 3 under 5 granddaughters, it put me off roos, ill reconsider now and keep any hatchling that is male, i don't know his history as bought at auction, maybe raising my own will be better ? Tamer , handled more ?
Thank you i will definitely reconsider
Thanks for sharing your personal experience!, Im sure this would be helpful to people who are deciding on a rooster. Overall i think it was a pretty good article. 5 Stars!
Very informative, yet easy to read & understand.View attachment 1427923
This was Tucker; super tame when he came here, but turned nasty when he matured. We came to an "understanding", and he was no longer a problem, but I always kept an eye on him, just in case.
He looks beautiful! We had that experience with a few boys too. They go through a spike of testosterone as they mature. Many will calm down after that, thank goodness!
