If you have not messed with a lot of roosters and do not feel very confident around them, then cull him. Certainly cull him from the breeding flock. I am not against trying to re-work but it takes consistent effort and a lot of time, certainly more than it takes my games which does not make...

After having a bad day with rooster I am interested the efforts have ceased. Effort invested has been much more than required to treat similarly disposed game roosters that calm down nicely. Despite this guy probably not likely to be genetically inferior he is finished. I got over confident...

I will be working on mine again today once camera charges back up. He has not been treated since last video so hopefully no back sliding. Wear proper cloths for this. If he has points to spurs then remove them. With your kids, try have them not poke birds with sticks or run from the rooster...

Problematic rooster discussed at beginning of thread was dispatched / terminated / killed without any of my suggestions being followed. Primary party also has had aggressive roosters before so carekeeper habits likely the common denominator. What likely made dispatch decision easier was they...

Not currently. I have an outer perimeter that is electrified, It is as if some fencing is hot, then predators treat of it as such. If we get a big snow then I will power the inner perimeter as it is easier to clean up. During production season the poultry netting is hot because young birds...

This video has me getting down and personal with aggressive rooster. Camera is small and a challenge to keep properly oriented. He orients towards or at a 45 degree angle from me whereever I go. Taunting was minimal and his attacks were similar. Towards end of video I quit moving in response...

My hair turned gray trying to upload it. More band width needed which will be done at work with future efforts. The video currently being uploaded was made using a GoPro that I could get closer to the action. Rooster already getting board with trying to kick my butt but he did make so I can...

Below is behavior of a cock that started of simply feed bucket aggressive. The feed bucket aggression was frequent in his cohort (genetics likely not involved) and corrected by most simply by adjusting how feed was applied. This guy was culled from breeding population because he was the most...

Most of this is on the human side of the equation. Parties being attacked need to be able to see how others interact with same birds. Some of the others also need to be attacked and balance need to be those that do not. Such observations will be much more effective than me trying to describe...

Two days ago I finally got to witness first hand the interaction between the now students and problematic rooster. They had related to me numerous times how the rooster attacked the primary student targeted without provocation. Also during the interval the rooster had taken to attacking...

This effort is slow in producing fruit. Student (college level > 21 years old) covered by insurance and employee of university. She is now aware of my intent and has been instructed by another party to do as she does. Once other effort she is employing now it the "catch and carry about"...

These guys can do it. They simply lack prior experience. They did see how easy mine are to work with but did not see details in how it is realized. The being scared of birds part was not something I expected but will be dealt with. Discovered similar problem and likely similar mentality when...

There will be no grabbing if my approach followed although if grabbing done properly I see how it can work. Emphasis here will be on changing students behavior in not responding to aggression and wearing bird out. She will get flogged more in the process but she will also gain confidence and...

At work we have small demonstration flock consisting five dual purpose laying pullets coming into lay and a Barred Plymouth Rock cockerel in addition to a pair of American Games I provided. All are about 5 months old. Barred Plymouth Rock cockerel has taken to attacking one of his keepers but...
