Advise to keep my rooster

[Mrs. K]

Its how they are treated that makes a bad ir good rooster.

I humbly disagree. I can see where your experience makes you think you are right, but generally speaking, rooster behavior is much more genetically and hormonally driven than the people/ bird interaction has an effect.

Technically, one can roll the dice 5 times and get heads. The next roll is a 50/50 shot. Not indicated or affected by the previous rolls.

I am happy for you, that you got really great roosters. I am just as positive, it is not on how you treated them or failed to treat them, but the longer I am in this game, 26 years, I am more and more positive it is the luck of the draw.

If a person could give the directions, "You do this, and then you will get this kind of rooster" it would be worth money. However, this false idea, tends to make people feel like failures, and keep a vicious rooster, or feel guilty if they don't. This forum is filled with stories where the darling became the nightmare.

Alway be aware of intact male animals.

Everyone’s entitled to their own experiences and opinions doesn’t mean you can’t raise many good roosters from hatching. Doesnt invalidate what I said

Oh goodness, no, I have had my all time best rooster that hatched out and was raised in my coop by Butter.
