Aggressive rooster

[Jl neighborhood flock]

I have two chickens and a rooster, this rooster- Jerry, being extremely aggressive, by chasing and hurting the rest of my family. Do you guys have any idea on how we can keep him calmed down?

Try spraying him with water when he attacks, like how people do with cats.

You can also pick him up and press him to you when he gets aggressive, ans hold him until he calms down.

Crock-Pot?

Crock-Pot?

This exactly!

There are so many human friendly good roosters out there desperately looking for a new home due to HOA regulations or similar, there is no need to put up with an aggressive one that can easily cause serious harm.

I agree with @LaFleche. He needs to be culled. Once they start being aggressive it's usually too late to do anything as behavior modification rarely works for roosters unfortunately. Not only that but human aggression is genetic so if you breed him you'll have problems out his children too. I wouldn't rehome him either 'cause that would just make him someone else's problem and he could attack them, especially if they have kids

Okay, these are all good answers, thanks!
Now also we do have to rehome him because of his crowing, so should I not and just cull him then?

Cull him. Never rehome a human aggressive rooster. He will just be a danger to his new owner

No, I do not. Your family is more important than he is. He really needs to go.

If you rehome him give full disclosure as to why. Some people would be OK with that, they may be planning on eating him anyway. Or you can eat him yourself.

Cull him if you have to rehome him anyway.
