Aggressive rooster attacked my sister! What should I do?

A soothing hot bath with onions, garlic, a few peppercorns, and a bay leaf or two is a sure cure. Keep in mind that the cost of one trip to the ER will buy a LOT of chicken feed.

“a soothing hot bath” I love this!

No need to kill or eat him I have a roster thats aggressive 2 ways to handle it wear long pants and boots and pick him up and hold him for a little while while you do your work pet him hold him close to ur body or put in on the ground putting pressure on his back to hold him put 2 fingers on his head and press his head into the dirt hold him there for a minute may take 2 or more times but he will get the point that ur the boss

I’m sorry to say that he attacked my sister again August 1 and she needed stitches, but before we went to the ER, we put a bullet in his head because we couldn’t let him keep hurting my sister. I didn’t want to do it, but we had no other choice. My sister loves to go down there and be with the animals and it’s unfair that she had to worry about whether or not she was going to get attacked by him every time she went down there.

I’m sorry he attacked your sister again, I hope she’ll be alright. You made the right choice, even if it was a hard choice.

Sorry to hear she was attacked again. It's good you finally put him down though. Unfortunately that was going to keep happening until you did what you did. Sometimes the right choice isn't the one that feels good unfortunately

I'm glad you came back to update. And I'm sorry your sister got attacked, again. I'm in the cull and eat him camp, she should never have been attacked, again, and needed stitches. I hope you learned a valuable lesson and I hope your sister isin't afraid of chickens now

Good on you for doing the brave thing. I don't think we realise how much stress aggressive roosters place on us until they are gone. Having to be ever vigilant in your own back yard isn't a reasonable, daily expectation. You and your sister will now have peace of mind when out enjoying your space.

I agree. Can you tell me how to help my sister earn his respect?

Just cook him. Dealing with aggressive roosters just isn't worth it. It isn't as if roosters are in short supply.
