Are Black Cooper Marans Roosters agressive??

[BigOJoe]

for the record, they call me "Big O Joe" for a reason, I'm 6'2", 275 and I am not affraid of the rooster, I'm affraid of what I will do to him. one of the last attacks ended with me holding him eye to eye, I was yelling at him that i can win this fight!, then i noticed his eyes rolling into the back of his head and i realize i'm holding him by the neck a little too tight!

thanks for the tips, i want to work with him, his beautiful and I want to keep him a around for a while

Big Joe,

Thats me only i'm little. Everyone knows I am the boss, but i have one hen ( who because she is an excellant broody is still alive, she not a marans ) she came at me attacking and I grabbed her by her neck and was shaking her till I realized she wasn't biting. Fortunatly for her she is still alive for now.

I don't like agression in roos. I don't like pushy either and don't consider it a sign of a good protector in a roo. My araucana roos are really good at watching out for their girls and getting between them and the cats or dogs, and they are neither pushy or mean. They find food for their girls, sing and dance for them and keep them safe.

I have a friend who has a huge BCM and he is sweet as can be. He is a bit of an attack artist when it comes to the girls. No romance in his soul. My araucna's are very romantic. Must be their latin blood. LOL!!!

My BCM roo is young, only 6 months old so I am cutting him some slack. He is in a pen with his girls and all he has to do for his food is help me get olive eggers. Every roos dream so he better learn to be appreciative.

I have 3 black cooper maran roosters in with 27 hens, 5 BCM, and various other breeds.   I want to keep just the Maran roosters so that my maran eggs will be full blooded marans and dont care about mixing maran with the other breeds


but one of the roosters attacks me on a weekly basis.  and in this hot summer and fall I am usually in shorts so needless to say i have some scratched up legs. 


I have come real close to setting him out to free range with the coyotes, foxes and dogs and see just how BA he is with them.


i have had dozens of other roosters and only been attacked by the bantie boys (they have gone to another farm now)


i want keep the marans but this guy is pushing his luck with me.
