Humbling a rooster

[BBQJOE]

I had another rooster go Rogue on me.
He thought he was superfly or something, and tried to show me who was boss.
It took about ten minutes of chasing before I finally caught him.

I grabbed him by his feet, held him upside down, and paraded his butt around the coop for all his ladies to see.
I held him upside down while I collected the eggs, and fed the others.
Then I paraded him around a bit more.

You just wouldn't believe how he now trips all over himself just to get out of my way!

I've found that roosters who attack people are normally best humbled with a stock pot.

Sometimes a man just isn't in the mood to part out a chicken.

Then wear thick pants, and don't let children near the rooster.

As I said, he stays far away now. No worries.

He will for while - then come back 4 much more.

That is so awesome. I love it. I am dying laughing and picturing it in my head!

Sounds like a grand parade!

I am always amused by the stories of people's rogue Roos...I've never been unfortunate enough to have one turn on me. My roosters clear out of my path whenever they see me, they do the same for my kids!

Its great to hear all the stories of them being put in their place though! Eventually I'm sure it will happen here!

And I'll give him more if he wants it.

Sad thing is, you can teach them to fear a particular person. But not "people". If he's not exposed to many people besides you. And you got him to respect you, could be fine. But he will still challenge, and attack new people.
