I've been reading the chicken whisperer guys blog and we are going to give it a try but wondering how often people succeed in turning an aggressive rooster into one you aren't wary of any more?
Ours is only 5 months so I hope young enough to be a good candidate for rehabilitation. He has lunged and pecked a few times and today crossed the line and jumped up at my daughter and put a scratch down her leg.
My son yelled no at him when it happened and then dad heard the commotion and grabbed him and carted him round under his arm for 10-15 mins. He was very subdued when he got put down again.
I'm willing to give this a try because he hasn't spurs yet and is a bantam so not a big rooster. He is also my sons much loved pet.
So are there actually any success stories out there for regular non chicken whisperer folk using non kicking it methods?
