I'm in a sticky situation. I have two banty roosters - a cochin and a dark brahma. I have them because a friend of mine had too many and wanted to find new good homes ie. not chicken pot pies. I've always wanted a chicken and now that I'm in my 40's I finally have not one, but two! They live in the barn with my horses. They snuggle together at nights and keep each other company.
The cochin is the dominant one and he's a sweetie to me and my kids. The brahma has attacked myself and my 6 year old daughter. I don't like him. I've done the carrying around thing and it works for a couple of days but then he jumps on me again when I turn my back. I'd like to get one or two hens and get rid of this rooster.
My husband is not any help because he says it is my problem. I've advertised him as a free rooster on the super shopper and BYC. I am an extreme animal lover, can't kill a flea and most certainly not a rooster. And my daughter cries and says that she doesn't want anyone to hurt him (even though she's scared of him).
So...what can I do???? He's dangerous and has to go but what can I do with him? No one wants him.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
