Thank you, for sharing the opportunity to learn something!

It might be like 100, but I didn't want to exaggerate and it's been a while since I learned it... It was just post 18 and 25 that you referred to, but here is the link... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1149551/aggressive-rooster/10 But also I do agree that roosters are mostly doing...

That article and story were both great! I know for a fact that not all roosters will be human aggressive! And they don't attack chicks because the chicks might belong to them. I was worried about the chicks with my broody because they can make it through to the stag pen. But no incidents so...

I kinda get what you are saying... Yes the roos don't go after my dogs when laying around. Only when we are playing. Not all cockerels need to be treated the same. The one I have to employ these techniques with is one who specifically challenges me. It's not about not letting them do...

Yes, but what the rooster perceives as wrong may not be. That's why so many humans get attacked. But my dogs are well trained. I can't train the rooster not to go after them when they are running and playing. It's not fair to the dogs. So I now make sure the roos are locked on the other side...

I disagree. I have 3 dogs and if a rooster consistently goes after them, he is going into the pot. I don't need a blind dog that got flogged just for walking past. Besides, a dog will win in a rooster fight most of the time and it will end very badly for the rooster. And because people often...

No, that was what I was talking about. Think I might have put a link to that thread, earlier on this thread. I didn't know it said keep them from mating and tid bitting, but ya eating and crowing when you're around. It could be that your one boy is a little more hormonal already. But there...

Make sure you have a place to separate them before they start trying to mate. They chase, grab neck feathers and don't let go, make pullets scream. And all will try to mate a single pullet that they have caught. It's quite a rude awakening if you aren't prepared. And they will go after the...

How long are you thinking about growing them out? They continue to grow in their attitudes for a little while... definitely past 10 months though I am unsure how much longer. Although you may be able to get a good idea before that. I think speckled Sussex are beautiful hens... haven't seen the...

It may be in response to us being up doing something sometimes to. They react to noises. I'm sure not every single one is participating... but if I had mad neighbors they sure would be. I also don't notice anymore unless I'm on the phone or trying to have a conversation with someone. I enjoy...

Well... it really depends on the rooster and the crow and the dog. Steller's jays are obnoxious... but they don't crow at 330 am! Every cockerel I have does. I've had Swedish Flower, Marans, Ameraucana, brahma, and Salmon Faverolle as well as WCBP bantam. The Ameraucana (not EE so don't know...
