How to show my rooster whos boss

[DWClay]

So he's 9 months old give or take. Has broken skin and caused bruises.
Yeah I'm going to vote it's too late.

I was afraid of that…oh well! I’ll try the grab and hold upside down angle once just so I can say I tried everything then it’s the soup pot for him! I’ve definitely learned my lesson on not babying a rooster!
If anyone knows of a nice rooster looking for a good home in KY let me know!

You guys arnt getting it! I am trying so hard to get him to stop courting me do you think i want him to no! I neet ideas not remarks and statements and some people only to congrat other posts. But dont help

An old farmer taught me that in order to stop an aggressive rooster, grab him by the legs and hold him upside down in front of the hens. Shaming him will stop his courting you.

As I understand it, this is dangerous. He calms down because he can’t breathe upside down.

It is only for a few seconds and have never had a problem with it. Up to you

Best way to deal with an aggressive rooster is to invite him to dinner. Retraining is unlikely to work and in any case if he's allowed to breed, he'll pass on his awful attitude to his chicks and you'll now have multiple birds with an attitude problem rather than just one. Better to let the mean bird go and either have the flock raise a new roo up themselves or take in a nice roo that needs a home. Life is too short to put up with dangerous animals (and yes, a rooster can badly injure or in very rare cases kill someone if he gets a good shot in. Those spurs are sharp)

Spurs ... beak ... claws ... are all dangerous weapons, and getting flogged with wings is no picnic, either. You wouldn't think a bird could mess you up, until he does. I speak from painful experience. I now have a "strike one, you're out" policy.
