My little 6 month old d’uccle is pretty aggressive. I’ve held him upside down and carried him around but it has not changed his behavior at all. This morning I reach a hand out in their run and he attacked. I grabbed as he did it and his nail lodged in my skin and broke off. Ouch for both of us. Nail splinters hurt!
The funny thing is my other rooster who has not attacked me and who has always been afraid of people (even as a chick) goes after my other little rooster after he tries to attack me. He doesn’t like me but he doesn’t like the other rooster going after me either. This other rooster is my big hatchery silkie and though he hasn’t attacked me my daughter (8yrs) who ran up to the run and was wearing bright pink shoes had him go after her the other day. She gave him a good kick and shut the door (she was trying to get a egg out out of the run). I’m not sure if it was a fluke.
I hate the idea of getting rid of them especially the big silkie and I love their rooster sound but I don’t want anyone getting hurt either . The silkie makes this cute sound to the girls when I bring food. Like come over here and eat.
