Cull or keep/ wait and see

As someone whose been spurred on both legs, my heart skipped a beat when I read you let the rooster around your child. They are sneaky, please, please don't let your child around any rooster.

I had two roosters (BA and GSL) that were tame for months but when the BA started to show aggression it didn't stop. I sold the BA and after that the GSL just took his place, before he was the shy one. I gave him too many chances.

Yes the rooster needs to be separated from child. An even bigger yes is a lot wrong was done by keeper to make the problem much worse.

You people; all of you simply do not get it!!! You guys need a license to keep roosters.

When I start thinking this, before I actually type it...I know it's time to take a break from BYC, cause ya just can't fix s.......

I'm not blaming the owner, just concerned for the child.

Thank you for all the storys i have honestly never been around chickens i never liked birds very much i was attack by cardinals as a child, i never thought i would like chickens but hey now i am hooked. I not going to allow my daughter to ger hurt like i said this is the first sign and i wont allow anymore. I was just curious. My husband had ducks as a child so yah. We even have friends who had chickens for years i figured they would have said something about the danger. He a dead chicken, either that or he rehomed i dont take kindly to any threats towards my daughter by anything or anyone. Once agian thank you for all the stories.

I wanted to make sure before i told my husband he was gone that i was in the right or not. I told him he tried to attack me and mention the freezer he agreed if it happened agian. Know that i know this is just the tip of the ice he gone.

The license part might be worth considering.

I read every information pamlet i was give when we bought our pullets. I had no clue i was going to get a rooster. Explain to me how a lincens for a livestock animal would be better then giving some one a pamplet or warning them that if they get a rooster by mistake how dangerous they can be?

Hope ya gave him the axe so no one else has to deal with him next!

You were more kind and tolerant (trying to seek answers) to the bird than I would have been! First sign of aggression he would have been introduced to the chopping block!

Well thats were he headed tomorrow. I tend to get attached and i made a dumb mistake in naming him i wont do that next time we get one he just go to the freezer.
