Flock with no rooster

I catch and hold my rooster from time to time to keep him tame. He's not a pet. If he tests me I won't hesitate to catch and hold him (which he hates)With one hand I hold him flat on the ground applying pressure on his lower back and with the other hand I hold his head down on the ground firmly so he can't twist his neck and bite me. Occasionally I'll stroke his neck to keep him calm. ( Wearing gloves comes in handy)After a while he will quit squirming and won't try to get back up .If he resists I continue applying pressure to his back and head both so he can't move. I only let him up on his feet after he quits resisting or trying to bite. If he shows any sign of resistance I don't let him go. Roosters must learn that you rule the coop otherwise they'll rule you. I've never been mean to my roosters but I don't tolerate an aggressive rooster. I like having one around for the girls. Hen only flocks can be less stressful and more fun without a rooster.It depends on why you have one.
He’s a big boy! I’m not that big, but that sounds much better. I’ve always known I had to do something like that to him… I just wanted a few chicks. But, having someone go broody is the key. I’m not set up to incubate right now.
We had a rooster like your's. He was delicious!
haha😆

When 2 roosters fight the winner will get on the other roosters back ,grab him by the neck and hold his head down on the ground until he submits. The winner won't get off him if he resists. Catch that rooster by the tail if you have to and hold him down on the ground as long as it takes .Don't let him move an inch until he sits there .He will try to bite so wear gloves. I had to do this to mine yesterday and today he's kept his distance.

Cover your arms and legs and above all block your face if you're short. I tried to grab mine yesterday when he flew up in the air feet first but couldn't grab his legs fast enough.He saw I didn't run he hesistated and started to jump again but I was too close so he ran. I grabbed him by the tail feathers then the head so he couldn't bite me when he tried to get away. Its all over for them at that point. lol
