Pin less peepers on aggressive rooster?

[6 littleHens]

So, no one has had experience with putting pinless peepers on an aggressive rooster? Since my original post, Winston has not jumped me. I've been carrying a small three pronged hoe around with me. Sometimes, when I free range them, I nudge him from behind with the prongs up. At first, he fluffed up his feathers and looked like he was going to do a dance with it. He looked at me like, "What's this?" And appeared p**sed. I continued to get behind him and nudge him every time I free ranged. But, I always have that hoe with me. I don't let him get close to me, peck my shoe, or get behind me.

I am still considering using pinless peepers on him. Because of the whole trust thing.

I don't have a rooster. But I've put a pinless peeper on several different hens who had become bullies and I will say that they work and work as soon as you put them on. I'd say it's worth a try. I mean, if it doesn't work or you don't want it on anymore, you can pop them off in an instant.

Thanks,
TheSpiceGirls. Now, I just need to find a small pinless peeper.

Chickens have no sense of smell or taste, so how could "anti-peck" possibly even work? Culling is your only option.

Chickens can smell just fine. Have seen mine track things by smell. Don't think any smell is going to work on an aggressive rooster though, unless it smells like chloroform.

Or ether!
Having an attack rooster gets old, and is dangerous for everyone. You might convince him to avoid you (except for those sneak attacks!) but he will plot to destroy every other human he meets. Can you fix a child's face, or replace an eye? Hospital visits for infected wounds aren't fun either.
There are many very polite useful roosters out there, who are worth having in the flock. The idiots who attack the giants who bring food need to be gone!
Next year, raise some chicks, and keep a better boy. He likely won't be the 'friendly' and 'bold' one in the group, he'll hang back, and pay attention to his flockmates instead.

Hello Smoochie I know that this question might sound dum but I am new at this so whats culling?

Culling is killing the animal.

'Culling' actually means removing the bird from the flock, or from the breeding group. For obnoxious roosters, it most often includes a family getting a nice chicken dinner.

In the world of animals/breeding, it has always meant to kill them.
That's the one part I can't and won't ever do.

Again, not so. I can cull individuals from a breeding program, and have them move elsewhere, and nobody dies.
