My current roo is Clarence, a buff orp. When I picked up a hen for the neighbor, the hen laid an egg in the back of my car. That became Clarence. He challanged me a bit the last few months, but with the stalking, I see him stop and think, LOL. Now he kind of follows me around, still trying...

Quote: Ditto. I stomp forward with my arms out from my sides (like a roo would do his wings) and loudly challenge him with "Brrraaaawkkkk" (that low growly noise they make at each other when they spar). I don't stop until I have the offending roo in full retreat for at least one lap around the...

Chicken.Lytle : Quote: I had to chickle at this one! You can whack him but don't spank him!!! I read a post by someone who had trouble with a roo who, after two more dominant roos were taken away, began flogging people. So, they carried a broom and when he tried to flog anyone they would...

Quote: He was 1 of 9 that didn't succumb to my behavior modification, he was given away.

Quote: I'm the type of person that sits out with the chickens almost every day with a cup of coffee. I'm on my 2nd flock roo. My roos will throw themselves at any danger and get killed to save the hens. My roos call the girls for treats, and don't eat till they're done, he will take food...

Quote: I think those little roos suffer from "little man syndrome". Could not get mine to quit. He would wait till I turned my back and attack. Little bugger!

RedStarGirl, I love the bubble bath idea! Sounds like fun! BMC, what a nice thing to do for your wife! Really nice of you. Yes, the kicking route is a challenge, you backing up is a loss. Making HIM move and move is a win. Out of 9 roos the only one that wouldn't get it was a little...

Quote: I really like this ! Sounds like fun to me ! Have a couple of drinks , put on some heavy clothes and chase him around till he cant take anymore !! Hey, never thought of having a good drink while doing it!

M.sue : Wow......I had to laugh. I pictured myself in this scenario with my teenage son. We call it Battle Of The Wills!! Makes sense though. Quote: Sue, good luck with the roo.........and your son, LOL

Some of these posts are making me laugh. It's great to read the posts by the "thinkers" out there. I'm a stalker, but I'll have to try the under the arm thing too. And I'm happy to say that most of my reformed roos have become very good roos. One turned into a snuggler (silkie), when he died...

NO!!!! Think like a roo. He thinks he's alpha-roo. You need to speak his language to show him he's not. Kicking, etc, is just challenging him, He will come back. Stalk him. Put on some heavy clothes and keep walking AT him, keep him moving till he turns around and runs. Do this every...
