No i

Getting rid of this rooster is way to go now but if booting birds has been employed prior to development of problem then the behavior likely is involved in promoting the current situation of a man-fighter.
[/quoteI would never boot them unless I had to and yesterday was the first he got booted and that was only to get him off of my kid its not like I chase him and booted him!

Dont kill him

Yes he is going to be dinner I'm not taking a chance of him blinding my kids and I didn't raise him for 23 weeks to not get anything outta him I have a family of 7 and my kids know that some of them will be dinner and their ok with that its part of life and our plan to become a more self sustaining family

He was always nice before yesterday he would eat outta the kids hands and let us pet him I never would have anticipated this from him.

Next go at refrain from hand feeding until roosters are fully mature.

Update I dropped of two of my Roos at my uncles house he offered to cull and clean them for me well with in 10 mins of being in the pen my roo kicked the **** outta his roo and his roo has 3" spurs mine has none so he is now dominant I told my uncle if he wants to keep my pretty roo for his own I'm fine with that. Watching him fight I just kept thinking what if the was my kids and I know I made the right choice for my family! So I guess I'll know if I get 1 meal or 2 if he's keeping him or not

Darn it you guys. You are giving roosters a bad name because you do not know what you are seeing or doing. Stick to hen only flocks or put genuine effort into understanding chickens.

I think it is probably wise for most people with very small children to just not have roosters unless the birds are penned 24/7. It only takes one bad attack to cause permanent scars or damage to a childs face or even eyes, it's just not worth it.

How do you treat a roo differently so they dont attack?

Understanding a chicken has nothing to do with it. Mean roosters are mean. Sometimes you can correct it, sometimes you can't. Sometimes you just don't have time to correct it, or don't want to take the time. Just be glad be wasn't going to be turned out in the wild or set free in a pen full of dogs. At least he was going to be culled mercifully.

I'm not giving Roosters a bad name I just can't have a Roo that is attacking my kids Yes I understand I am new at doing this and I thought this was why this site was created to help people have a better understanding not to be put down and told they know nothing Really I'm sorry your such an expert why don't you try helping people to have a better understanding and use your expertise for the good. I don't think a Roo that attacks 5 times in 1 day is really worth keeping in my opinion not at the chance of one of my children losing their eyes. I want to have a better understanding that's why I turned to this site for help. Thank you

Thank you! He just turned mean and after 5 attacks I had enough My childrens sight is not worth a Rooster! If it was just me and my husband I would have taken the time to try and correct the situation but I didn't want him here another day because of the kids I'm very upset because We loved that Roo he was beautiful and very friendly but he did what he did and I did what I felt I had to do!
