First Rooster Experience- Advice

[FrostRanger]

That's not what they meant.

Indeed, I never said anything about your birds in particular @2 Acres, I was speaking of aggressive roos in general. I'm glad that your roo was a good protector, but in general human aggression and protectiveness are independent traits. As you saw with your own roo you can have a roo that's both protective and human aggressive, but you can also have a bird that's one or the other or neither. Hence why I would not advise someone to keep an aggressive roo thinking human aggression = protective

I just got 6 chicks; 3 Barred Rocks and 3 Golden Sex Links. We suspected 2 of the Goldie's are roosters. I have young kids. The chicks are only 3-4 weeks old now. Is there any way to tame the roos' before they go out to the coop?

Could you post photos of the suspected boys and the one suspected GSL girl for comparison? Where did you get them? Gold Sex Links cover a lot of territory, there are several different crosses that can give you a golden SL. If you post photos we might be able to help you sex them so you at least know what you are working with. Knowing where they came from might provide other clues.

What do you mean by taming? What behaviors do you want to change?
