Rooster is suddenly aggressive

[FrostRanger]

I've told my mom that we're probably gonna have to cull or give him to someone else, she doesn't agree with me yet so I'll have to keep convincing her. Thank you

Tell her that the behavior is not usually fixable and an aggressive roo can do a surprising amount of damage (we had a case last year where a mean roo sent someone's little sister to the er twice before he was finally culled and there's someone else who had their knee permanently messed up after an attack) and if he happens to attack someone you guys could be sued (and most home insurance policies don't cover poultry) especially since it is known he is dangerous. Human aggressive animals of any kind are no joke and culling aggressive animals is part of farming. Best way to have nice animals is to treat them with kindness and respect and to not put up with the mean ones

Of course, we'd love to see the new hens! Make sure to quarantine them first in case they have any diseases not immediately obvious (and the stress of moving can occasionally make a bird sick too) and introduce them slowly with the see but no touch method (keep them side by side where they can see each other but not interact for a week or 2)
