A little embarrassing, but how can I get my drake to stop trying to “mate” me?????????

Do you always wear the same pair of shoes when outside? My little house rooster HATES a certain shoe that I wear. He's fine with every type of shoe/slipper/sandal I have, but will not tolerate my 'every day shoe' which is a just a brown leather sneaker.

So in all seriousness...Maybe Bruce has eyes for Crocs? If it's not the shoes, can you slip him a stuffed dog toy? My little house rooster likes to mate with my dog's feet and this one specific stuffed toy of hers - a brown moose. When he goes for her feet, I've been shooing him off and pointing him to the moose. He does his thing and all is calm for 10 minutes. He's getting better about leaving the poor dog alone.

Hey everyone!!

I have an embarrassing problem here… my Call drake, Bruce, keeps trying to mate me!!! I have NEVER had this happen before!! When my drakes become sexually mature they always find the girls… except this time apparently. :/ Bruce does have a hen, but he acts like he doesn’t know how to mate with her. I’m extremely confused here… what can I do to stop him? I have tried kicking him, pushing him away, etc., but he is absolutely relentless!!! Thank you in advance for your replies!!

Change your clothes, move quicker and don't lie down.

With my rooster when he started to try his little mating dance against my leg I started loudly side shuffling towards him while flapping my arms and screaming. He just looked at me in a daze like "Oh she crazy!" And took off like a bat out of hell. I guess he wasn't as freaky as he thought he was

It's just me! The dog is his best friend though, so cute. Dwayne knows when I get home from work, runs to my car and follows me inside and just waits for the shoes to come off. Until they do he gets the exposed skin between my sock and pants. He has 8 young children currently who he wants nothing to do with. Which I use to my advantage, if they're around me, he will keep his distance. I've just accepted that this is my life now.

That just gave me a thought.
@CaliFarmsAR do you wear a particular item or color every time you interact with them that he might be drawn to?

Ummm… I’m always in shorts and tennis shoes! And I talk to him when I go out

 

[CaliFarmsAR]

Oh my goodness, he is so sweeet looking! I wouldnt roast that one but I hope you find a solution for Mr. Bruce.

Thank you!!! He’s not going to be roasted, I couldn’t eat him!

I'd say that's weird, but my rooster waits for the dog. Back from a walk, vet appoint, car ride, whatever... He's right there, waiting for her.

I would try getting him a stuffed dog toy and throw it to him whenever you're expecting him. If it works, great! If not, his bestie has a new toy.

Prison style or?

So I reminded him that I own him!

or soup style?

My drake gets a nice splash in the pool when he starts with me. Takes his mind off of what he was trying before he got tossed.
