my rooster does not recognize me!!!

[flappychicken]

My roo has attacked me on two occasions... He is the sweetest thing and we just love each other... he lived in my room for awhile and went up a mountain!!! so I think he is healthy. He was a strange chick but I think that's um... but he also walks into walls.

any input is great

THANK YOU

No he remembers you. As they get older, it's all about territory and ladies. You are not either one of those so he finds you a threat to what he wants. It's little man syndrome. Dont take it personal. If he attacks again, shove him right down on the ground on his side and peck his head with your finger. Once he stops fighting you and lays there submissively, let him go. He needs to learn your the boss and he needs to respect.

It's all about dominance. When he acts up subordinate him. @FishMtFarm gives one method. Scooping him up in a fish net and carrying him around is another. Do not swat or kick at him as this only inspires him to fight back. Just be the boss as he is starting to 'get too big for his pants'.

He isn't much of a rooster tho. He is THE WORST rooster of all the roosters I don't think I want to shove this one. although I will to my other roo. sully is strange he like walk into walls and he attacked me just randomly like out of the blue He was just sitting on my lap (cuz he was shivering and I was warm(he was sitting willingly)) and then like 10 seconds later it was hackles up and head but time...

Well, even if he is weird, he is still a rooster and will have rooster tendencies. Special ED does not suddenly make him think like a person!

No room for an aggressive roo. If he can't be successfully rehabbed by taking him down a notch or two, then for the safety of you and your family, and any visitors, IMO, he must go. Special ed case or not, there is no room for violence.

 

[flappychicken]

yeah ok. He has never hurt me (he basically is the worst rooster ever) just attacked me it's kind of cute. I don't think he is capable of hurting... Anything bigger then him.

 

[lazy gardener]

Even a bantam can cause serious injury, and it only takes a moment. Those spurs are capable of piercing flesh all the way to the bone, and a roo in attack mode will go for the face if he can reach it. An attacking roo is NOT CUTE. It is serious business.

 

[FishMtFarm]

Yeah he can hurt you and anyone else. It's not cute at all. Sorry
