should he stay or should he go?

[eggcochin_freak5]

this is hammer my bantam roo....as you can see he is a very handsome fellow. but he is very aggressive with his hens....should i keep him or sell his abusive butt?

Do you really need him/his blood lines for breeding purposes? If not, let him go.

 

[jenjscott]

how old is he? I understand a lot of youngsters can be a little overzealous at times. He is most certainly pretty.

 

[eggcochin_freak5]

actually yes in a way....but i really hate to sell him because hes a pure breed....he has papers and every thing but....... some people have offered me up to 30 bucks for him...

 

[eggcochin_freak5]

hes 6 months

 

[arlee453]

I'd take the money and run unless you really really need him.

Otherwise, I'd house him separately from the ladies and only allow conjugal visits occasionally, or buy them all stylish saddles...

you could cage him off and on, or for bit, until he gets a bit older and wiser

& you let them leave with the $30 for a rooster???? I couldn't have sold him fast enough..........

 

[eggcochin_freak5]

yea....money sounds good.....but dang hes a stud.....im thinkin im going with "the cage him off" plan

If you can sell him, do it.

My roo destroyed the backs and wings of 2 of my hens and it'll take them at least 6 mos to get them back and looking good. I got rid of him and realize now that I should have done it a lot sooner.
