I understand not wanting to keep aggressive roosters. I have had Cuckoo Marans in the past & my roosters were docile. I did have a Barred Rock rooster that went after my grand daughter & he was dead within 5 minutes. My son says the roosters react differently to him than me. I have had absolutely no signs of aggression from any of my guys but my son says everytime he walks by the pen someone charges the fence at him..........go figure.
Thanks, sewand grow. He doesn't seem to discriminate between people--he'll take on all comers! I live on a property with several co-tenants, and he's gone after a strapping guy who's six feet tall, his girlfriend, an older lady who fed the chickens for me over Christmas, and me. Most of the attacks have occurred when the chickens are free ranging around the property, though, and I wonder if that has something to do with it. He's never attacked me when in the coop. It's too bad, really. He's a handsome guy and seems to be fulfilling his role as guardian of the ladies; I just wish he could discriminate between real predators and caretaking humans.
