Leghorn Rooster - bad boy

[Bill Land]

I have a bad boy big white Leghorn Rooster who is making life miserable for my flock. He is one of my original babies - what can I do with him?

Cull, rehome, or separate him until his hormones calm down. If one member of the flock is making life miserable for the rest, somethings gotta give!

Welcome!
What's happening? How old is everyone, and how much space do they have?
There's always the crock pot!

Sell him.
Eat him.
Tame him.

Sell him - If you do this, make sure you price him for at least 5 dollars. If you list him as "free", his is more likely.....lets just say, he is more likely to be in a bad home.

Eat him - He will taste really good! But I know you might have a problem with the butchering.

Tame him - This could be VERY hard, and I don't know much about it. Good luck.

How is he acting? I wouldn’t sell him, as cock fighting and dog fighting exist. I wouldn’t sell him online, that is.

Sometimes people mistake normal rooster behavior as aggression, but we would need to know how he is acting to tell for sure.

I, and a lot of other people on here, are pretty familiar to rooster taming, so we might be able to help you if you decide to try with him.

How many space is there? How many hiding places are there for the hens? How many hens do you have. A lower stress level can help.

Is there only this rooster? Maybe it is temporary and it can be a solution to trade him for another older rooster.

You have four options.
One: ignore it, (probably not the best idea.)
Two: sell him.
Three: dispatch him.
Four: separate him, and give him his own little area.
Remember that most roosters are a little more aggressive than the hens, so you have to judge how bad it is.
