Hi.

I'm going to try to rehome Picotee. He's become aggressive towards me (and only me), and it's interfering with my ability to care for my hens.

He's 2 years old, never been sick or injured. He's very good to his hens (although he doesn't get along with my Barred Rock) and does a great job alerting the flock to hawks (and robins and finches and airplanes and falling leaves). I think he'd do much better in someone else's flock.

Also, I will gladly provide the feed of your choice for him for the remainder of his life.

Also, if you know of sanctuaries that will take him, please let me know.

He's adorable. That's super nice of you to offer to continue to pay for his feed for the rest of his life.
Have you tried advertising him on local FB Poultry groups or your local CL? I've rehomed all my extra cockerels and one rooster that way.
Good luck!

I've posted all over. I don't really want to rehome him, but with a cockerel in the brooder, I think this may be the best solution. I don't think 2 will get along, and I'm worried that little Picotee will not fare well against a large breed male. And my hope is that this new male may turn out to be a good rooster towards me. If I can find a taker, I might not feel so bad. I feel like I failed him somehow to make him not respect me, you know? A new flock with a different caretaker might solve everything.
