My rooster keeps attacking me!!!!1

I don;t mean you are attached to him. I mean you are emotionally involved in the situation, aka offended the rooster would do that even tho you feed and house him. He doesn't think like that. In his mind, when you are in the coop you are in his house. So to get him to stop, either recognize that thinking and try to reroute it to your liking, or cull him.

im not for the being his psychologist

More specifically, you can try chasing him from the coop as soon as you enter. Bring a broom or something. If he tries to come back in while you are doing your chores, shoe him with the broom. Feed your girls and elt them eat and stuff and you be around them showing the rooster you are the boss. When you are feeling comfy, let him back in. If he goes for you, chase him back out, If he ignores you, you are making progress.

Other people suggest when he comes at you to grab him and sort of hold him on the ground a minute. Let him up. Repeat until he ignores you. Others carry them around like footballs.

A quick use of the forum search feature will yield you many results on the various opinions of taming down a rooster. Good luck with your bird!

ETA: I am not against the use of moderate force when dealing with a hormonal male animal, but being prepared with a kinda soft broom tip will keep him farther from you, and minimize accidental injury with a quick, reaction based karate chop like slap.

You get another more friendly rooster.

You get some roosters that are aggressive because of genetics.

But not “most roosters,” most rooster can be very good if raised right. If most of your roosters have all been aggressive I think it’s less about the roosters and more about what you’re doing wrong IMHO.

well something with the instinct to attack when they think there flock is in danger or threat idk what rooster u have most I have delt with are like that

How big is your rooster, what breed?

I have very docile roosters. When I have aggressive ones, I re~home them.

That just proves my point then. I think it’s less about the roosters and more about something you’re doing wrong. My two cents.

How do I slow him down from attacking me so much
I showed him a lesson when I slapped him across the head

Don't slap him he will attack more as he will assume u like enemy ..my roosters attacked me when they are growing I tame them for example keeping them in my lap and stroking their neck lovingly trust me they become tame and dance for you ..you just need to show them your love . They make Amazing loving pets
