I got a flock of 10 birds free because someone was moving. one of the roosters is rather aggressive. He attacks me if I get too close to the hens unless I have food and those spurs don't feel good. He is pure black copper marans, with feathered legs. He is also the father of the other 3 roosters and the hens in the flock that are all mixed with other breeds.
Part of me wants to put him in the freezer, but the other part of me thinks he would be a better protector of the flock against prey animals.
I live on 3.5 acres that they have full access to along with about 500 acres surrounding me that is private own woodland / farmland.
I have only had them for about a week and have just started letting them out of the cage.
Advice?
