my rooster does not recognize me!!!

[flappychicken]

hmm... He has only does it twice and that was after he was snuggling with me (willingly)
and it was just out of the blue so... If he does it again I will set his straight. After I laugh at him. I still think it's cute.

It's cute until he damages one of your eyes, and they frequently become the target.

 

[flappychicken]

yeah I have had many attack roos and hens they all go for the eye's

 

[lazy gardener]

[flappychicken]

I'm going get straight to the point here. An attacking rooster is in no way cute. You have posted on here asking for input, but it seems that you are reluctant to take in the fact your rooster is not all sunshine and rainbows. He is attacking you, he is ruling the roost, and it will only get worse especially when you 'laugh at him' and think its cute. You want him to have a good life, don't you? Then you need to set him straight. He is capable of really hurting someone.

ETA: He might not be 'much of a rooster' to you, but a rooster is still a rooster.

Please take the well intentioned advice from these well seasoned friends. An aggressive rooster WILL get worse.
Even a special ED one will still follow his natural instincts and behaviors. Many of the people here have years of experience with roos and they know what their talking about.
And please don't take offense to the advice. It's not meant as such. No one wants to find out later that you or another person were seriously hurt by this guy. Hence the sense of urgency that you set him straight asap. Many of us have personally seen what a mean roo can do. I do hope you'll consider all that's been said here and rethink your position with your roo.
And I mean all of this with kindness and sincerity.

Yes I understand that an attacking rooster is a bad thing. I think (and this is not an excuse) I am reluctant to listen because I love SUlly so much I don't wan't him to be mean. I think He actually has brain damage...But that's not the point. I am sorry for not listening to all of your help. I think I should. if he attacks again I will set him straight. I think that this thread should just endif it is causing any problems. I am sorry.

But what I don't understand about sully is that he is the sweetest thing he will snuggle (willingly), he likes good attention, and I have brought him to a convention, before he started attacking and little kids were poking him and all this stuff "Oh can I pet your chicken" and he didn't care. He has never harmed a hen and is afraid to even fight one. Then out of the blue he just started head butting me with hackles up!

I just don't understand thankyou HAVEAGOODONE!!!

Ending the thread isn't the answer.
We all understand you love him. Nothing wrong with that, I love all of mine too. And he very well may have brain damage, but if that's the case, his behavior could pose a bigger threat because instead of just trying to protect his territory he is acting out randomly and my not ever understand your correction. And that's hard on him and you and if this is the cause he will get worse. I am sorry you are dealing with this. I'm sure the others are too. However, you have to deal with it.
Staying here and learning through others is a wise move on your part. And if you feel your being "attacked"here, try looking at the advice from a different angle. We all want to help you understand and learn what you can do to possibly train him not to attack...I hope I've helped.
