Rooster Taming!

[BAYAREABIRDER]

Hey all,

I have a 4 and a half month old hatchery stock slw cockerel who has jumped at children under 5 feet. Is there any way to calm him, and let him know that they arent a threat?? I am mad though, my brothers freinds were charging at him yesterday, and he charged back!!!!! He keeps his distance with me, and he respects my line.


Any help would be appreciated,


BAB

Here is a page on rooster management:

Some you can train, some not. I had a hatchery SLW hen who I thought was a roo who was attacking everybody, pulling feathers, pecking, etc. We processed the chicken and found eggs inside. Wouldn't have wanted a mean hen, anyway.
