How Do YOU guys Deal with a bad tempered rooster??

You can use a fishing net to catch a bad one. Human-aggressive roosters do not get to stay here. If someone wants them, they can have them, with full disclosure, of course, or they will be culled.

Here is my theory. A rooster who bites the hand that feeds him isn't very intelligent. The smart ones don't hurt the food suppliers. If a rooster has it in him to be aggressive to people, genetically or whatever, then handling him alot as a youngster will most likely make it more likely he will attack you when his hormones kick in later on. It won't cause him to be aggressive, but it will make him very comfy around you, make him think of you more as an equal and therefore, he will take you on someday. If he does not have the seeds of aggression in him, then handling him as a youngster will just make him more friendly. No methods will really do any good if he's just that way. He may back off, but he'll always be looking for his opportunity to attack. He may even become afraid of one person, but still attack others. So, for what it's worth, that's my $10 (inflation).
 
I'd put him in the stew pot...... we have a mean bantam rooster... but we're not going to eat him

You can eat it.

I've never had a rooster ever actually try to act aggressive toward me or anyone else (maybe the cat though).

I have barred rocks and a red-star rooster, (and used to have a silkie, duccle, and BBOEG)

I have a frizzled Cochin bantam with an attitude problem too, and right now his pen is only 4 feet tall, so I need to squat down to play with my other few that are in the pen. He HATES being touched, so when ever I would go in the pen I would just poke him, and he would jump up and run off. For about a week I left him alone because I was more concerned with my broody hens. Well, he decided to jump up and go after my face, but I caught him upside down between my side and my arm and just held him for a bit. Since I had him caught, and he is small enough, I held his wings to his side and held him off the ground for a few minutes. He hasn't even given me a mean look or squawk since. But if your roi has spurs, if you can catch him, wrap him in a towel and file down those bad boys! Then you only have to watch out for beaks, and flying chicken torpedos
 
Human aggressive roosters make human aggressive sons 9 times out of 10. Keep the best, cull the rest, period.

My blue Orp and my Delaware have long spurs because we have serious predators in these mountain woods and we free range. Neither would dream of using them on a human being here, as both are intelligent easygoing roosters.

Gosh, another ancient thread dredged up-seeing lots of those lately. There are hundreds of more current ones on this exact same subject.
