My husband and I went to our local feed bin the other day looking for a rooster to add to our bunch. I've been reading about which breeds are more docile than others and thought I had my facts straight when I ordered 3 roosters. I ordered 3 RIR's thinking I read they were not very aggressive. When we got home I started reading more about them and found out I was totally off and they tend to be aggressive.
I know every rooster has the ability to be a "menace", is there anything I can do to combat aggressive behavior? I wouldn't be so worried if it were just my husband and I but, we have a 9 year old daughter, a Chihuahua who thinks he is a bad @ss, and a lab who thinks everyone and everything is his friend. I also have nieces and nephews who like to come visit from MO for the summer. I do not want anyone to get hurt and I don't think I would have the heart to ?cull? them.
