ROOSTER!!
Handsome one to, is he a rode island red?

He is a production red. he starting crowing the other day, so it’s a rooster for sure. Does anyone know if I have to give him away? My husband keeps saying I have to.

Why would he say you have to give him away? Any reasoning? Some people give their roosters away because town noise ordinance, or because don’t want to feed a bird that won’t give eggs, or aggression, or just because neighbors can’t stand the crowing. Aside that, it’s good to have a rooster for flock protection, for breeding purpose, or just because roosters are beautiful

My RIR roo is pretty aggressive. I don’t go to the coop without a stick. Going to cull him as soon as I get a new rooster big enough to protect the flock.

You shouldn't have to get rid of him. I love my roos and my red was a wonderful roo.

He’s pretty ok. Sometimes he’s a little aggressive but not towards me. I also used to talk to them as chicks so if I talk to him I can even hold him for a little.

Hi Zchickens. I highly recommend you read this https://permies.com/t/67285/critters/defense-Rooster

It starts with someone in a situation like yours... It's a great true story and it only takes five minutes to read it.

I would absolutely keep ours if he wasn’t aggressive because not only is he beautiful but he does a good job riding herd on the girls. Unfortunately ours will attack our daughter so he needs to find a new home.
