Flogging = bad. I'm not a breeder, but I don't know I'd breed a flogging rooster...When my rooster starting giving me his "fancy feet" it was a few short weeks before he started flogging me. Actually he is a cockerel and I got him for breeding purposes, so I am hoping he calms down but so far he's only gotten worse. He hatched in April 2020.
I am fully aware that flogging is bad. I plan on selecting the best of his male offspring to keep and nixing him. His breed is known for aggressive roosters so I am aiming to rectify that in my flock. He was raised by me, but his offspring will be raised with a hen which usually creates well-adjusted roosters. He is also one of two roosters, and bottom of the pecking order which contributes to his issues as well.Flogging = bad. I'm not a breeder, but I don't know I'd breed a flogging rooster...
There's that too. I have no qualms with keeping "extra" roosters for the stewpot anyways.Breed him! people are alwease wanting a rooster that fight for his hens but then you get one that is really good at his job and you eat him!
That makes so much sense. Like I said, I know basically nothing about breeding, so this is great info.I am fully aware that flogging is bad.
