Hi, Benny, welcome to this friendly and helpful poultry-loving community! Just wondering, are the 2 mean males mean to your ladies, or to you?

Hi, Benny, welcome to this friendly and helpful poultry-loving community! Just wondering, are the 2 mean males mean to your ladies, or to you?

Mean to each other and mean to me & wife, but very sweet with the hens.

Hi Benny, thanks for joining us.

I understand your situation. My remaining rooster HATES me, but he's good to his hens. He was the bullied rooster until I rehomed his sibling. Now, he thinks he's the big man -- really just a Bantam with too much attitude.

Congrats on a successful hatch and welcome to BYC, Benny!

Hello Benny, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

I would rehome one of the boys with full disclosure. See of the remaining guy tones it down. He is still just a cockerel. He MAY tow the line.

I suggest you read this article to try to understand the world from his perspective so that you may be able to alter your behavior and reduce or eliminate his human aggression.

I also have a rooster who hates me. He will be 6 in April and we have gotten along without issue for years now. It was very confrontational for the first couple years though. He's an incredible flock leader so I kept him. I am now watching his look alike son come into himself. I have never had any trouble at all with any of his sons. This one, I'm keeping.
