My feedstore takes them and puts them in a cage in their store and sells them for a couple buck. They never last more than a day or two with all the traffic coming in to the store.
I pretend like they get a good farm home and live happily ever after.

I'm sure some do.

Good luck!

Sounds like you have tried to modify his behavior, but some roosters you just can't do a thing with.

Here is how you can take care of the problems:

Walk into your kitchen an grab your biggest iron skillet.

Call your Husband to come into the kitchen.

As soon as he has walked into the room, smack him on the head with the skillet for telling you it is your problem.


Put an add up at your local feed store, and online wherever you can post it for free, don't ask people what they intend to do with the rooster but do tell them that he will attack humans.

Someone will want him either for their flock or for their table, if you don't ask them about it there will be no guilt in giving him away.

I've put mine on Craigslist and Freecycle. They are usually gone in the matter of a day. I tell them to, "what you do with them is up to you" "Raise 'em, Eat 'em, Feed 'em, doesn't matter to me' I had a "snake guy" always wanting the smaller ones!!

I am sure I am going to be considered insensitive, but I am going to say this anyway. The moment anyone decides to keep a rooster for any reason is the day they need to be prepared to deal with its behavior in one way or another.

If it is impossible for one to eat, cull, "take care of the problem" by making it go away, then there is often little choice but to live with the rooster. Roosters are very difficult in many cases to give away much less sell. If Making the problem go away is a problem I suggest one should reconsider their decision to keep poultry.

I think it just goes with the territory, if you are going to have a rooster odds are that sooner or later you will have to make a decision about how to handle it. Frankly it takes me about a minute to figure out what to do with an ill behaved rooster. And at that time that rooster is not longer a threat or a problem. I have no fear of them I am not concerned about being injured by a rooster, but I have a two year old grandson that does not need to be flogged by one of the mean son of a guns. So it is a simple decision for me.

Rooster-red--you are hysterical! I laughed so hard.

Jossy-J please don't think we are heartless--dealing with roosters makes on very pragmatic. Craigslist would be my first choice. If you have any neighbors that are hunters or farmers, they may be happy to take care of him for you (worked for me). A vet may put him down, but will charge an arm and leg if you can find one that will do it. Unfortunately you have started with one of the more difficult parts of chicken keeping. But you need to take this seriously, as that rooster could easily injure your daughter, even as a bantam.

I would not give anyone a nasty rooster, mine go in the freezer for BBQ if that happens here or given to someone that needs food for their table.
