my big roo is attacking my daughter

[jimmythechicken]

my big orp roo is trying to attack my daughter his neck will puff out and start jumping at her does anyone know why he is doing this or how to stop it?

Mean rooster = dinner. He will probably not stop and can actually injure your daughter if he gets her in the face. You can try chasing him, carrying him, and other things folks might reccomend, but not worth worrying over your kids. Just my humble opinion. There are nice roosters out there. Good luck.

Jimmy chased the chicken.Jimmy chased a chicken..Jimmy chased a chicken and watch them feathers fly.Jimmy chased the chicken.Jimmy chased the chicken....Jimmy and his daughter sat down to a homemade chicken pot pie.


Sung to the Zack brown band song..... but seroiusly...imo he can harm your daughter And I'd eat him or sell him before he does

i already told her i will put him down if he does not stop she is older so he wont get her face she is 13 an 5ft 5 an 120lbs he does not bother my other daughter who is much smaller or me or my wife.today i went out there with her an when he puffed up i kicked him like a football we will se how that works he is our best breeder an runs the flock so would perfer to keep him but if he does not stop he will be gone

ok, in that case I would give the rooster a little more leeway. With small children i would be way more likely to make dinner out of him. He would have to be pretty valuable for me to tolerate meaness though.

Cull him, I had a bo roo that hated my mil. I could not him trust around her, after last attack I decided that I didn't want to spend the next few years with a roo I couldn't trust.The next roo is a gentleman and is nicer to the girls too.

My roo knows where my boot is. I show it to him regularly. If you really must keep him, maybe you can teach your daughter to either kick it or hit it with a stick.
If my roo ever starts acting up, I make sure that the next time we see each other, I'm the crazy one going after him like a mad dog. He never knows what to expect from me and, therefore, respects me.
I don't kick or hit him hard enough to injure him. I mean, let's be honest, I like the guy.

just today I was discussing my problem with my roo.... I do not want to destroy him until I get another Welsummer rooster. He attached me twice today while free ranging. I kicked him twice. My dear friend told me to chase him with a board so I can home and did that.... I chased him with the board and I hit him and chased him and hit him again. This time I was the instigator. He hadn't had a chance yet to do anything... he now is afraid of me... It sounds abusive but if this keeps him in line....so be it.

If you can't make him dinner, put him in jail until you can. He may respect you, but your daughter he might not. Don't trust him.

If she can, you could have your daughter try picking him up and carrying him around to show him who's boss, if she isn't interested in that, just getting a foot underneath him and kinda launching him across the yard when he starts getting aggressive will potentially work as well, you want to more Lift and fling, not actually KICK him (don't want to injure him)

If she cannot convince him that she is higher on the pecking order however, you may just need to get rid of him.
