Where r u located? I have 2 roosters and kept them separated. My Swedish hen attacked & bloodied my husband’s leg. We then let our silkie out with the Swede-our Silkie chased him and gave him a quick knocking. Since that, Thor who is 3x the size of Linus, has never bothered us again. Moral-you may have Linus to teach your angry Johnny a lesson. My email is [email protected].
And they now live harmoniously. Thor keeps his distance.
Perhaps your local vet will put him down?
Not in the same manner by a long shot. Do you have any human children? My birds are taken care of and loved, but there is no reasonable sane comparison between my child and any animal.
I'm not saying you're wrong for your views, especially in what you do at your home with your flock or kids. I'm saying you're wrong for trying to make others feel any less for making a decision about an animal they at their home in their care that's human aggressive to the point of not being able to go outside their house without being attacked. Plus, the OP has already done what they felt was necessary and feels OK about it, which is perfectly acceptable and normal . Some of these roosters are quite nasty. If you can live comfortably and the rooster lives a nice life, that's wonderful. I applaud you if so, honestly. I hope that no one ever takes pleasure in killing. If I took pleasure in it, my spawn of Satan rooster would have died well over a year ago. I have tried everything to avoid it. I sometimes wonder if everyone has had an actual human aggressive rooster.
Have you ever tried everything in your power to care for a wound on an aggressive rooster, especially their wattle? I have. He made it impossible without injuring me every single time. I would just deal with it for a long time but he was more and more aggressive every single time. Some roosters are no joke and they're worse than you'd think. I never thought a 10 lb chicken could be so aggressive, but I sure do now. This bothers me so much because you have no idea how much I have tried with this one. It bothers me because I don't take their lives for granted. The folks that have helped me on here know that I've been dealing with this guy for a long time. I'm not just killing him to kill him. I'd love to go outside and not have to worry about where he is so that my daughter and I don't get flogged with his huge spurs. He's wonderfully talented at flogging, I tell ya. This circumstance isn't a one size fits all. I love what works for you, but the same doesn't work for us all sadly.
In my experience... He attacks you because he thinks you are an intruder in his territory. What he needs to learn is that YOU are the prime boss, not him. This is something that YOU must do because the rooster will not learn that you are the boss if you have someone else do this.
