    How to RAISE a good rooster.

    How to RAISE a good rooster.

    The rooster I kept is the one to the left, "Kendall" He is so mellow, never pecked me, was the slowest growing of all the roosters I had. 15-16 weeks old has not crowed yet- has not pecked me. I can hold him everytime I see him. He is not breeding with the ladies yet, but he seems sweet. BO are...

    How to RAISE a good rooster.

    I had a blue copper maran who was a beauty. I could catch him/hold him, he was not fond it, the hens loved him. A hawk got him, but I view that as protecting his ladies.

    My rooster comes when he is called, but only for love, the older hens eat all the treats before he gets there. He is 14 weeks old.

    How to RAISE a good rooster.

    foot shaking and broom pushing, increases aggression. I think you are lucky to have an orpington, I have 2 buffs that are 15 weeks old. They only come running for cuddles, not treats at this point, because the big hens eat all the treats before they can get any. I had a bunch of diff roosters...

    How to RAISE a good rooster.

    To say all roosters are mean, is like saying all pitbulls are bad. And for one person to say the only way to do something, is their way is close minded. I have had roosters for 45 years and have only good things to say. But I am a bit of a chicken whisper-er myself. :cool:

    How to RAISE a good rooster.

    When I am getting bit, if I am holding a rooster, I don't react, I just push the beak off then, do like your mom, hug them or pet their face. A baby with new teeth may try to take a bite to get a reaction, too. They are learning their place. As chicks they do like a reaction from other chicks...

    I got 26 fry pan bargain roosters to see what that was all about, and I wanted a selection of roosters to choose from. I called it "the bachlor game". when they were about 8 weeks old I gave alot of the obvious roosters to some hungry families and kept 6 different types of roosters, and 4 hens...
