Unfortunately, if you don't quickly show him that you are the "head rooster" he will continue to flog you. In our chicken yard, roosters get one flying lesson courtesy of my boot, and a flying lesson launched by the neck if that doesn't improve their cooperation. After that, they are delicious in chicken fried rice.
At our house, you either need to be nice or be tasty.
yep- he got booted yesterday and flogged me today- dang his little hide anyway! nope i don't tolerate it- so what has a mellower personality a cochin or EE?? all i need one for really is to guard the girls when they freerange
Cochin! They cant fly so they cant flog, and I havent had one try and we had 5 different varieties. I only had problems with one, and he didnt like me picking him up so he bit me(he hadnt been handled since he was a baby),

I have a different question...
How cost effective is it? I know setting up might cost but in general how much does a bar cost or six bars? A breakdown as best you can so I can tell the difference from buying at the store verses making you own?
Robin, what type of Brahma is he. Bantam or Standard? I've two roosters in the same pen right now and both are as docile as they can be. When I got home today both of them and the hens all came running and went straight into the pen.
