Rooster

Cockfighting?
Okay. We hear so many people say that you cant have more than 1 rooster per 10 hens right? Currently, I have 9 hens and 3 roosters. Of course there may be a fight from time to time, just like dogs they can get in their moods. At first it was hard, I had to get my roosters to respect me for them to listen. I eventually was able to step in between the boys to stop. They eventually learned and now it hardly happens. And when it happens (once in a blue moon) all I do is yell loudly "boys" or "knock it off" and they respond. In fact I used to have 4 roosters and 10 hens but I unfortunately lost 2 for different reasons.


This is pretty much the same thing. Get your boys to respect you and they eventually listen. Just yesterday one of my boys, Rooroo, was try to get some acting and I didn't even have to yell. All I said was "roo off" very sternly. He listened.
Now I know we all have different experiences with our babies, but if you have the patience with them, they'll be patient with you.
Enjoy the interesting photos I took of one of my roosters. His name is baby.

I think chickens, dogs, etc. all learn who is alpha fast. My sister has had one dog after another and they walk all over here. She doesn't get the concept of BEING ALPHA.

I raised dogs and not one in the kennel ever challenged that I WAS ALPHA!! No hitting or screaming involved.
