My gut feeling is that culling truly people aggressive roosters is the only thing that works. Isolating them and letting them live a normal, happy life without any contact with people is the other option.I have enjoyed reading the varied responses to this thread and it is clear that you all have different opinions and varied ways to control aggressive roosters. What works for one person isn't always going to work for another. Now that we have all read some really good responses and suggestions, we can use that knowledge in the future or now in some cases. We all just have to do what we think is best, based on our own situation. Thanks Gangaroo for starting this thread and for all the responses. I do understand the culling process if nothing else will work, but I would love to hear some actual behavioral techniques that have worked. I have read the responses, but there are very few hands on experience for aggressive behavior. Except for culling, which pretty much is on top of the list.

I am coming to believe that the natural behaviors and drives of many if not most adult roosters are not compatible with co-existing peacefully and safely with people in most backyard situations.
Very few intact males are safe with people.
I would really love it if the experienced rooster people could give us not-so-successful rooster keepers with some tips and rules to live by. I do think that many of the problems have been man made, so I would like to recognize and avoid the pitfalls.
