meanest rooster you ever had? pics?

[Alycia]

My mean roo is still here. I do not send anything to butcher and if he becomes a danger to my other chickens, I will have him euthanized before I ever send him off.

He is a Black Sumatra roo named Ozzy. I got him two years ago from a lady in VT. Normally I prefer to hatch and raise my chickens myself to be very sociable, etc, but they were gonna butcher him, so I jumped at the chance to save him.

He was really sweet at first, I could pick him up and take him inside, cuddle him and spoil him. But after awhile, he got to home in the flock and took over as the head roo and became mean. He has spurred me a few times and did it to me two days ago without provocation. I was just standing there...Lol.

I was considering removing his spur shell with that hot potato thing but then I'd feel bad doing that to him and leaving the full spurs on all of the other roosters, even though they seldom fight. I just dunno what to do with him. But he is very handsome.

Up close and personal, just when he was beginning to show his mean side.

The softer side of Ozzy with his hen love.

I've only had one Rooster because I am a begginer. But he's 10 months and showing some signs of being mean.

one week ago he attacked me! I was sitting on the coop ground petting my hen and he did a little dance type of thing " like the suffle thing" and then out of no were he can in front of me and "brought it" He started to jump up and bite me, and attemp to spur me, He knocked my slipper of so I quickly grabbed it and beat him off me with it. he walked away, so of course I came bck with big boots and showed him whos boss. Now when I come in the coop he does do a dance, and does the "wing flappy thing" and walk away, like he's plotting against me. Today he started to dance. ( if I ever see my hens hurt or killed from him, hes doing to my mothers friends, who enjoys stew and processing it) and im not worried about me, Ill just go the walk around method.

Wow, so far it seems all but one person had a mean rooster who's origins begin at a hatchery.

Well, I'll join in too and boost that mean 'ol hatchery reputation. . . The meanest rooster I ever knew and had was a Silver Laced Wyandotte named "Elvis," he was given to us by a neighbor back when I was a young little kid, and quickly became dominant, started spurring bloody holes into people's ankles and feet, tried getting the hens bald, and was pretty stupid too. . . He got tangled in random twine and weeds all the time, so when we went to rescue him, we'd have to stomp our feet while approaching him, to intimidate him, then quickly grab him and hold his wings and legs steady while untying him.

He didn't last long.

Past him, the only other aggressive rooster I've encountered was a shabby looking Sebright a neighbor gave us a couple years ago. . . Otherwise, through the 40+ roosters I've raised, those two were the only ones. . .

I have 2 contenders for most aggressive around here. Here's 1:

And here's the other:

Both are OEGB. The first one is no longer here, but he used to try and 'flog' me when I was feeding, guess he thought he should be first. I'm not afraid of a rooster smaller than my foot

But he would chase my son all over the yard.

The second one has never shown aggression towards me, but he has gotten my son a time or two. Almost got him right in the eye one time

The the meanest rooster I've met IS still at my grandpa's house his name is Toes beacause his toes are miss-shapen at first he was the nicest and followed my grandma around then he started attacking people and even attacked me a couple times I had to use my coat as a shield. He is a sebright from Murry mcmurry hatchery.

Ooops... I forgot to add that I believe he was a BR X RIR and when he died he was about 1 yr old.

My little bad boy is Madiba. Right when I started out with choickens I have 4 little pullets. after a while I decided we need a roo and bought him from a local feed store.

He attacked anything and EVERYTHING! The day I brought him home, I put him in the run and upon exiting, he flew right between my legs and out the run and attacked my dog! The dog was like huh? what did I do? He was relentless. He would attack me so much that I never had a problem catching him. If I just walked out the kitchen door he was there within seconds trying to spure me. the spuring was not so painfull, but the biting! Dang that roo could nip. he would grab the flesh and then twist his head. He drew blood EVERY single time! I have scars on my feet.
The more we would fight and joust, the more I grew to love the little booger! But eventually, my 3 year old daughter refused to leave the house because she was so terrified of him. I didn't want my daughter growing up with a fear of chooks, so I gave him to a friend. I still send him treats and and spare hens I have that I know can handle him. He was very thrifty in 'that' department. it was like two seconds! no mess no fuss.
I miss him terribly and my flock is lost without him, but I had to prioritize.
He was such a handsome fella too....

Oh, I forgot to mention that he attacked the burglars who broke into my house too! GOOD JOB! He terrified them so much the one guy left his hat behind!
