Rooster is attacking humans

[NanaK]

Haven't tried this myself, but I've seen some people succeed by carrying a spray bottle with vinegar in it and spraying the rooster every time he rushes/attacks. Doesn't hurt him, but chickens hate vinegar.

Agressive rooster can do some serious damage especially to children.

If you use a spray bottle he will learn not to attack when you have the bottle in your hand. So each and everytime you are around him you will have to carry it.

The first time you forget, he will attack at full force.

It is difficult to do chores and enjoy your flock an keep an eye on an aggressive rooster if you have to always carry something to defend yourself.

ok thanks! I'd seen it online but I guess I really should have looked into it before saying anything.

I used to have a rooster that I loved more than anything, so I just kind of "dealt" with the attacks, but ngl, as much as I love roos, I'd rather not be attacked again

Some roos are too old for that but at the age of 6 months I also think that he is not too old to put him on the grill

I agree, let the meat rest and then simmer slow.

I used to give my chickens leftover leaf salads that had vinegar. They loved drinking the vinegar out of the bottom of the bowl when the salad was gone.

I have a friend over here who had the same problem. Jarvis (named after Jarvis Cocker) started to become aggressive to everyone except his owner whom he adored. The feeling was mutual so Jarvis remained.
Then the owner went on holiday and a neighbour cared for Jarvis and his harem. Unfortunately he attacked the kind lady, ripped open an artery in her leg and but for a passing farmer …
However, would you believe ? even after this the dippy stupid woman still didn’t do the right thing to Jarvis imo.

I think you should put the rooster down if, you showed him fear, (that pumps his ego) and if you ever had kids that play chase games with him, (meaning they let the rooster attack them.) Roosters will play that game until they win- or the kid gets hurt, then the kid runs to mom to say the rooster is being mean. Also if you shove with a boot, or broom you will eventually have to put them down, because that is also fun for the rooster.

And never turn your back on him.

My great grandmother used them as guard geese.
As a wee child I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere near them
