In my experience, making cockerels pets teaches them they don't have to respect you. I wouldn't handle them at all.

Oh, it worked for my roo. He has never attacked me and as a chick I handled him every day. Maybe he is just special. He attacks my mom, and she never held him. But, I did have another roo who when he was a cockerel he would fly up on my head and shoulder to say hi, but then when I put him out with everyone else, he started attacking me. Same with my other cockerel. The two that were jerks have new homes with friends of mine who wanted them.In my experience, making cockerels pets teaches them they don't have to respect you.

Would have to disagree with you on thisIn my experience, making cockerels pets teaches them they don't have to respect you. I wouldn't handle them at all.
That's why I said in my experience. Plenty of other people have coddled their cockerels and had them turn into nasty roosters. Then raised cockerels hands-off and have them be very polite.Would have to disagree with you on this
Was so attached to my first ever batch of chicks, the roosters matured to be babies
They followed me everywhere and when I stopped they'd step onto my feet just to pick them up for kisses and baby talk
Then came the minac in the second set, I didn't handle him much cus I didn't see no need since he wasn't going to stay
He was a menace fighting every moving thing in sight
So you mean it's all up to the roosterThat's why I said in my experience. Plenty of other people have coddled their cockerels and had them turn into nasty roosters. Then raised cockerels hands-off and have them be very polite.
Possibly. I never asked for any further variables. In my experience every one I ever treated as a pet was aggressive, and every one I just raised as hands-off, wasn't.So you mean it's all up to the rooster
