It’s all good, I thought the same thing when I first started! It’s what you hear a lot.... we were under the same impression but learned gradually through too many rooster issues lol. The best method for us has been to act big and bad and not tolerate any BS... I’ll feed, shelter and care for...
Petting a rooster is a bad idea. It’s best to just let a rooster be a rooster, and petting will confuse him into thinking he has won and you are now submissively preening him.
Thank you. I was going to say the same thing; also no need to pet him either. He is interested In one thing and one thing only, and that is reproducing with every hen all day long. This is usually where someone has to butt in and talk about their tame lap rooster, but sorry in my opinion a lap...
