Once a hold them their ok after a bill or two it's unlatching the door and them kicking the wire that's the problem

stags in question. Him and his brother behind him. They both getting dubbed in the morning
 
I agree that's why I'm trying to find others with these to see if it's an inherent trait or if it's pretty much just these. If it's for the most part just these I know they must need more attention which honestly will be rather hard with my work schedule and them not being the only ones I have or if it's inherent at least I know it's not all me. They came from a breeder out of state so I haven't had the opportunity to walk his farm.


You might be able to break the man-fighting by sitting down and letting them wail away on you. Do not respond by going after them or backing away. Cover spurs if you need to. Most smarts still comes from bruising by wings. This still takes some time but you have a weekend coming up. This works for my occasionally aggressive stag that gets set off by me messing with a hen
 
After I dub them I think I'm going to put them in the big pens in the morning and go in with them in the afternoon. See what happens maybe the room and getting it out of their system may help. Leave them in there and visit daily

A friend of mine wants them to be manfighters, somehow they think it's a good thing. If they don't turn out to be manfighters they think there's something wrong with them. They actually select them for manfighting. I personally believe they are ruining them for everybody.

This ruins a breed, I will not tolerate such blood lines going through what I breed here. Any aggression towards humans and it is going on the chopping block. My oldest and biggest rooster lost his head last fall mistake or not. I don't care no rooster goes at my kids. He was the best rooster in the world until that day when he made the mistake of attacking my youngest child in the yard. I grabbed him by the foot carried him upside down to the block and it was done with. Around here there is no 2nd chance. I always figured though that half was just mad at all of us because I had separated him from the girls for 3 weeks, then put him back. But still it's not tolerated here.

This is why I keep any new cockerels sometimes 2 to 3 years before I will breed them, this way I know they are not man fighters. I have even found a few hens that are a bit on the mean side, when that happens they lose their heads. It is not tolerated here. I may be the pickiest person in the world as to what I breed here, but I make sure that bad traits never get passed on ever.
