Okay. I'm going to look into that. Maybe we can trade someone or something. I'll do some research and see what my options are. Thanks for that! I really appreciate it!
Alright. Will do! My husband is the same. He has no issue with giving a swift kick in the butt when the rooster is being an ass. I just never felt right doing that. He said it's needed. He had a jersey giant who was an aggressive (not so) little guy. And he said the best way to break it is to...
That's what I was thinking was it would be kind of silly to do that. We're going to decide whether we should just pen them all or get rid of roo. I'd rather him go but I'm worried the silkie will be the same way.
So is there any way to avoid them becoming aggressive? He's still really calm even with his girls and let's my kids pick him up and all. Is there anyway to at least keep him calm? I mean we can do without the picking up and all. I just don't want them being attacked.
I do have a silkie roo that has his own 2 girls and 5 other younger birds he took under his wing. They stay away from the adults. Is it possible my silkie roo will become "man of the house"?
Okay. I'll try and see if we can try that a few times. Where we live I let my kids play outside while I cook or something and check on them every few. Lately I don't let them unless I'm out with them bc of him. I'll talk to hubby and see what he wants to do. I'd prefer roo to go but we'll see...
Thanks I'm going to be talking to a customer of mine tonight to try and get him to take him. I've been thinking on getting him out but when he's not being an ass he's great with the girls. But it's better for my kids for him to go. Will I need to pen my girls or anything once he goes? Will it...
Oh okay. I've had a few different roos. My favorite were my barred rocks. Even having too many roosters (unknowingly at the time) they were all very calm and polite with us and their girls and never gave any issues at all with aggressiveness toward each other or anyone else. I've never had a...
I'll do that. What's the bachelor pad part tho? Like locking him by himself for a while? I've heard they get really hormonal. Is this part of that or should he be coming out of it by now?
So my buff orpington roo is growing into the meanest guy ever and I'm completely lost on what to do. He attacks my 7 yr old daughter anytime she's outside. He will run all the way across my yard at her every single time. He's gone after my 9 yr old son a few times more recently and today and...
