My neighbors free range rooster!

[MarkJr]

Maybe clip one of his wings and chuck him back on his side of the fence to keep him from flying over?

This is a good idea.

I would be into denying him access without actually harming him, or making him disappear without evidence. Will cover your butt in the event neighbor decides to respond unfavorably.

Maybe not a good idea. Even though the owner doesn't seem to give 2 cents about the roo now.....well people can get weird about an "alteration" to their animal.

Okay, ask first.

Really?
They person already said to shoot the rooster, spraying it with a hose is not mistreatment. I use the hose on mine when they hop into the vegetable garden.
I wonder what you would think about the chicken-stick I use when my unruly bantam has his eyes on my legs?

Two or three wrongs do not make a right. My much more capable roosters do not need sticks to keep them in line as I know how to manage them properly so they can even be around children,

Haha yeah so do I, the freezer is the solution, or were you thinking more of a cuddle him approach? I tolerate my little cock because he is a feisty one, that’s why I like him. You sound like you think I beat him, jeesh, the stick to keep him in line is better than a punt ain’t it?

If the neighbor said to go ahead and kill the roo, I don’t think they would mind if the rooster had it’s wings clipped.

It also sounds like they don’t like the rooster and want you to do their dirty work. Personally, I would cull.

Here's what you can do - get a net -the kind fishermen use to net big fish like walleye or pike into the boat - whenever this roster comes over into your yard go out and put the net over him - put some weight on the handle so he can't move around - leave the net on him for couple hours - do this a couple times and I will bet he won't be coming around anymore - to keep with the times - I agree with this message

Catch him, give him away and blame the fox or the stray dog

I went over to the neighbors house and told him his Rooster was fighting with mine and could he please keep him across the fence. He tells me if I see him again to just shoot him.

I don’t want to shoot the rooster as I don’t even kill my own chickens. I sell or rehome. I mainly use mine for eggs for eating and for hatching. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to kill this guys livestock but I don’t want him fighting with my EE Roo either.

It's sad, but the only solutions I can see are:
a) keep your own chickens in pens
b) kill the neighbor's rooster
c) ask the neighbor to kill his own rooster himself (if he hasn't already done it, he probably won't.)
d) ask the neighbor to give the rooster to you, and then once it is yours you can keep it in a cage on your property or rehome it.

What are your additional suggestions?
