Even so, a bantam who flys at your face, spurs or no spurs still has claws. I have absoulutly no tolerance for a roo bantam, standard, purebred or crossbred who attacks me. And does that mean I am limited to bantams if I want to ever keep a mean roo?

Not all roosters have that instict. I have a HUGE EE roo named Frank, he comes up to my waist easily. If he ever decided to attack he could do some serious damage to me or anyone around the coop. And if he ever did he could be in the pot before he could say sorry.

What makes you say a friendly roo won't protect his hens? All my roos are friendly and they are willing to protect the hens, but to them I am not a predator. And that to me, is the difference.

ChickieBooBoo, this is NOT what this thread is for. Just a warning. Do what you want with your roosters but please do not cause any more conflict on here, and, if you have to, just don't respond to this thread again. I would rather NOT close this thread for such a pointless argument.
Thank you for keeping it positive!

Amen.

Jessica is doing a big favor by giving people a head's up. Geesh, if anything thank her.

Sorry for all of the argueing everyone

Stay out of this PepsNick, I wasn't asking for your opinion.

Louie, I'm done, my point has been made

No need at getting mad at other people! This is the open internet, he can put in his say! And thank you for stopping.

 

[PepsNick]

You don't have to get angry. I can say what I want without your permission. I'm glad that you stopped. Jessica didn't ask for your opinion on roosters, either. Yet that's okay?

I'm done here, also. Thank you for the advice, Jessica! Be expecting a long PM from me, now that I'm on the computer (remember a few days ago I needed to write you that advice thingy.

You very specifically told me to ignore your posts which I have, I thought I could expect the same from you. Obviously not

Out of the 15+ roosters I have had, I have only had a problem with 2 doing this actually ^_^ I treat them as pets and they are just naturally friendly. The one of them just went through a phase and no longer does this, and the other I think I will use some of ya'lls techniques and take those spurs off. He is definitely the best guard rooster AND the prettiest so I would never want to get rid of him for what he considers to be guarding his flock (he is the head hancho). Thanks for the tips!

You know, not to beat a dead horse... but I though you said you were DONE. You know, like... gone. Which typically means you go away and stop harassing people, which, by the way, you're currently doing. Did you know harassing is against the terms of service? Here's some excerpts from the "Rules" page, which you can find up top between "User List" and "Search":

Quote:
I'd also like to point out, "The staff love the community, but if a member continues to disregard our guidelines they will be banned from accessing the BackYardChickens forum." That means if you continue being hostile towards others, you WILL be reported which could very well lead to banning. If I recall, you have a history of harassing other members on these forums. I am amazed that you're not banned already, personally, but I guess most forum-goers just don't want to cause a scene. Me? I don't tolerate people picking on other people for ANY reason whatsoever, and I'm not afraid to stick my neck out to defend those who are being stepped on. Do not tell me not to get involved, because by posting in a PUBLIC LOCATION you are INVITING other people to join your conversation, and currently you are POLLUTING a thread that I have found to be very valuable and have enjoyed discussing the topic with other members until you came along and scared everyone away. In short, that means that you are impeding on my free will to be here and enjoy the experience, AND you are being a negative impact on the community as a whole.

As I stated before, if you wish to have a CONSTRUCTIVE conversation about the topic at hand, we are all more than willing to DISCUSS opinions in a mature fashion. We are all more than willing to debate ( which is much different than arguing ) our opinions. And please, remember that - you are dealing with OPINIONS and NOT facts. If someone's opinion doesn't match up with yours, let it go. If you want a private conversation DO NOT post in a thread - message a person privately. In the same bar that the Rules are found on, on the far right is a tab called "Messages". On the far right is a box that says "Send New Message" much like making a post, and then you just type in or copy and paste someone's user name in the "Send To" box and you're set! That way you can have all the private messages you want without anyone ever butting in on your conversation uninvited. However, please keep in mind that harassing privately tends to be even more looked down upon than harassing in open, public areas such as threads.



Just to be clear, if I see you post one more time in this thread with the slightest amount of aggression towards another user I will not hesitate to report you to a moderator. However, if you choose to be mature and non-violent, I will be more than willing to discuss opinions and ways to prevent aggression in roosters while maintaining a rooster that is capable of defending a flock, and alternate ways to deal with aggressive roosters. I am sure that other people on the thread will be more than willing to discuss other facets of this topic as well, so long as they don't feel cornered and attacked. This may not be MY thread, but it WAS a thread I was enjoying, and people ARE being harassed, and if you think I don't have a right to confront you I would like to point out that you QUOTED me and confronted me first. That being said, please clean up your act or leave.
