hey everyone! I have managed to rehome my 'fairly' aggressive Rooster, problem is I haven't handled him since he came a couple months ago, he's about 6 months old.....anyone one got any tips on how to catch him to put in a box for transport to his new home?
 
Grab him off the roost at night and pop him immediately into the box. Do this in the dark with just enough light for you to see what you're doing.
Thank you, but I'm moving him today, may have to wait til the morning!
 
My roo is getting rehomed too and he's not so much aggressive but a little spooked. He's easiest to get when turned away from me, but he's a polish roo and can't fully see me. I'd suggest trying to pin him in a corner and move as quick as possible to grab him before he can try flying at you. Roosters are always a bit more aggressive in action. Hopefully you get him easy. Maybe try a towel toss over him if you've got no luck first, might slow him down in movement if he's got little sight.

Thank you......fingers crossed!
 
I use a fishing net which works well so long as the chicken is in a coop. Free range out in the yard? Not so well.
