Can you make a roo be nice?

[Milliemay]

I have a Buff Orp roo that is out ot get me. He was coming after me every time he saw me until this last weekend when I got the best of him with my pitchfork handle. I was trying to get work done and in a "foul" mood, so he did not get away with it. He has been keeping his distance form me since then. Does he now think I am dominant? This if the 3rd roo that has turned mean, I got a Buff Orp because my Orp hens are so mellow. Anyhow, what do you professionals think? What makes them that way? I am hoping to hatch again this spring, so I need to keep him around, but if he starts to go after me again, I am afraid he will be on the chopping block! Thanks in advance!

I use a crockpot, some carrots, potatoes, celery....make some dumplings. They turn out very nice.

Life is too short to put up with a butt-head rooster.

He IS nice, nice and rooish, that is. Just being a roo, trying to be the dominant roo. If you want to hatch chicks, you could just carry a broom and keep an eye out -- and small children away, of course.

I go more by how they treat their hens. The last one that got cooked here was really beating up his girls, to the point they were hiding in the bushes from him or staying on the roost, and it wasn't that there were too many roos, just his way of doing the deed -- hurt me to watch, and I would normally not give a second thought to mating.

Here tank tops are called "Wife Beater "T" shirts. Just watch cops, the stats confirm.

I agree with ddawn. If he's beating up the girls, he has got to go.
