Charles is getting above his station!!! Starting to go for us...

i have never heard of someone fixing that problem. good luck

 

Oh boy, another rooster being naughty to the hands that feed him. Youd think they would behave!
Have you been spurred yet? not by this little man but by any others?
Ill warn you, if he gets you badly enough you wont hesitate to grab the axe.
If he gets your children youll do it with your bare hands!!!
No theres lots of threads here so there will be lots of advice for you, so many things to try. Lucky you are in winter now so he doesnt spur your bare ankle!!
Im sorry, i got so angry with mine I walloped him with my foot and it just made him angrier!!I dont have the patience, i rehome them.
I find if I raise them from chicks, even under their mum they are better behaved, however if I have bought one as a grown roo, they get nasty.
Im about to go to sleep, its nearly 1am, i may think of some hints tommorrow!

I hear you can over do them with love and affection by carrying them around and such while you are out there, but that doesn't fix their problem with humans as a whole. The best all around fix is to replace him...

 

Spray bottle? Meditation? I vote for coq au vin b/c I just can't see taking a chance like that....but we have a frequently visiting neighbor w/ a toddler so no way could we have an aggressive bird around.

But then again, you didn't post a pic of how gorgeous this guy is. Wait, nah, looks shouldn't count for that much!

 

Carry a broom with you and swat his but when ever you are out. You have to make sure he knows you are the boss. If the broom doesn't work take him and push him to the ground and don't let up till he settle. Ever seen the dog whisperer?

Quote:Brilliant.....

I started doing this today...my chicks are 5 weks old and I can see who the boys are. When I go over to feed them, I pat the boys sideways for about a minte while the girls eat.

One of the girls has been pecking the chicks, and I've been letting her do it so they sort out a pecking order, however today I "patted" her back when I saw her do it.

When they had all finished eating I then left the run.

My first job when go over now is to pat the boys away for the first minute.

Also if I see the boys stand up to each other I run over to them.

Lets see what happens in the years to come.

edited: also I'll teach the kids the same thing as well...pat the boys away first of all

 

I don't even have a roo, but I found that article to be very educational. I plan on getting a roo, so now I know what to do.

 

From the beginning once you know who the boys are... I have made sure that the ladies eat first without disturbance from the men. I make sure the men are outside the pen and I stand watch to make sure they don't sneak in. I've not had a problem with my roos because of this. They know I'm the head roo.Hopefully this will stick for the longrun.
