Curly, my BA, attacked me once again today. As some of you may have seen in another post, this is the 6th time in about 2 weeks! He's gotten both my young boys, who are petrified of him. Thank goodness I had jeans on today. All but one attack have been in the coop, when I turn my back on him. Today, as happened another day too, when I led him and the two hens into the coop with scratch (their fave treat) he got me as he came in the door and I was turning away to walk towards the front of the coop. I wacked him with the stick, and he stopped.
I know he needs to go. But honestly, neither me or my husband know how to humanely cull a rooster. I am afraid of him. My kids won't go outside if they're out free ranging. My only regret is that he is good with the girls, and really watches out for them. My friend, who gave the three to me, said to do whatever is necessary. I don't want to pass on a problem to someone else, but should I try to rehome him first? I don't want to try and catch him and hold him to get him to submit. I just want him gone. What do I do?
