Rooster Attacking Me

[AmericanMom]

First spank yourself, in part for fighting with your roosters and then for being a Dean fan.

Show a picture of your roosters showing what weaponry they posses. Then put on some thick cloths, get a book and a chair and go sit right in the core of their territory. Let them flog away but do nothing in response except to keep them out of your face. Do not even look at them directly. Move slowly and deliberately as needed. If attack breaks off then move towards them but do not do so in an aggressive manner. When departing, do not move if attacks resume. This will be repeated but will impress upon birds the futility of attacking and demonstrate you no longer intend to threaten them.

Now that's got to be the ....

........oh whatever...

Take an ax out and take care of the aggressive rooster, put the other one on notice... Much happier life

I have more roosters with better manners than yours to be sure. My system handily is better.

OP, this is your call entirely. If you really want to keep these roosters and have the time and patience to sit outside and let your roosters attack you until they realize it's futile, then go for it. If you don't, then get rid of them and move on. I have a very well mannered rooster that has never attacked me. It's just his personality and I'm very happy with that. I don't wish to spend my time "taming" or "teaching" a rooster. I don't feel "sexy" getting rid of a mean rooster (and really can't see how that comment made sense), I just would rather not deal with it. But again, it's your call. How much time do you want to spend on them? How long do you want to wait to have peace in your yard? You're the only one who can answer the questions.

And for those who choose to judge those of us who would rather not keep a mean rooster - maybe you need to spank yourself. Rudeness really isn't necessary.

Your system handily is better for you. It may also be better for someone else who is willing to try it. It may not be better for everyone. We all have different circumstances and there is no one answer to every situation.

I'm not going to get into a Mine is better than yours war...That's so childish, Rather I will stick to my own way of dealing with aggressive roosters and only keeping the best and breeding those , that way the one in a million bad one goes to the stew pot and we have peace around our place..

Another thing you can do if Sam is being far to dominant it is because he sees you as a rooster I had this problem with a Silkie rooster, he would get angry and attack me. The other silkie rooster was subordinate and wouldn't do anything. So I would pick up the dominant rooster and carry him around with me in the yard while I did work and such, this took a little bit of time but I established that I was the top rooster and that he wasn't thus making him my subordinate. He now runs when I head in his direction he doesn't want me to pick him up and walk around with him anymore.

If that doesn't work I would remove Sam but I have done this with my family who own flocks of there own and they said that there roosters all submitted to the shift in the pecking order.

Good call, and it applies to all.

Every time a rooster gets close to me I reach down & grab him; my chickens don't like to be grabbed, so they learn to avoid me at an early age.
On the rare occasion that I have an assault rooster, when he bows up at me I grab him by the neck and roll him around the dirt. It doesn't remove the mean streak but it does make him avoid me afterward.
About 1 in 20 of my roosters will turn out mean & agressive no matter how I raise them but I'm very capable of defending myself against a 5 lb chicken so it's no big deal.
