Agressive and mean Rooster

[FeatheredFriends&Horses2]

Thank you FeatheredFriends&Horses2. I was hoping to breed but no I dont want those genes. I do have young children come visit so I will just make the hard choice and put no one else at risk

I know that no matter how mean they can be it can still be hard. Cockerels and roosters are usually really cheap. If possible I'd search out a farm that is selling older roos and see if I could find one with a good personality, or get a young cockerel of a docile breed, such as a Brahma, and work with him every day. A nice rooster makes having chickens much more enjoyable, and I think you'll find yourself going to visit them more often and having more fun when you do.

At two years of age - he is not going to change. But I would not plan on eating him either. I culled one last year, and used a pressure cooker...totally inedible, rubber like a tennis shoe, the dog could not eat it.

So if you want to cook him, try resting him 2 days, and slow and low might work, it seems to for others. I thought a pressure cooker would soften anything, I was wrong.

At 2 years old I would rest the cleaned carcass at least 3-4 days.
Worked great on my old hens.

4Hers also are good places to look for roosters. This is my last year and I show a lot of them at fair. Usually when they stop 4H, the families give away most of their birds, male or female. It's how I got a quartet of beautiful pheonixes a few years ago
