Mean Rooster

[egglayer3]

I want to get rid of my rooster bc he keeps attacking me. I don't want to kill it bc I won't eat. What do I do with him?

Welcome to BYC! You can try calling your local feed store to see if they will take him, good luck.

Welcome to BYC from Wisconsin. In this area, you can take roosters to the local swap meet and some people selling chickens will take them for breed stock. Good luck

Greetings from Kansas, egglayer3, and

! Pleased you joined us! No place for a mean rooster! You can try Craigslist if you don't care if someone else eats him. You can also post in your state's thread in the link below to see if a local can take him off your hands. Good luck to you!

Too many good roosters looking for home to be stuck with a mean one.

In some cases the roo sees you as competition for the hens. Another rooster! One person SAID THAT SHE WOULD CHASE HERS AND FLAP HER ARMS. What her rooster saw was a huge chicken. Take a good look at your reaction to his aggression is your response that of a human or a chicken? In her case she took a different approach and the aggression stopped.

Put him on Craigslist?
I have a local Poultry swap page on facebook that's very active. Maybe you have a similar page, and can find someone who will take him.
I would recommend that you let whoever takes him know that he's aggressive.
If you can't find someone to take him, you should cull him.
