A sultan? All this didn't start until I got rid of my two Ameracauna Roosters.

Thanks a lot. I would hate to get rid of such a pretty Sultan Rooster.

Aw, you don't have to do that. Roosters that do attack you are annoying, at the most. You don't have to kill him. Just beat him up a little, and that's that.

It's not true that attacking roosters are "annoying at most." I know two people with scars from attacking roosters. On BYC you'll hear stories of people with scratched and cut and bruised legs. Children have lost eyes and been scarred on their faces from attacking roosters, since their faces are closer to the ground.

If you keep an aggressive rooster, YOU are responsible for the damage he does to you, your kids, visitors, neighbors... think about this before you blithely take the advice that attacking roosters are simply annoying.

Yep, my mom's rooster spurred a big gash in her leg while being "annoying". She had to have it cleaned and stitched. Another inch over and he might have hit an artery. I'm sure that bleeding heavily for that 30-minute drive to the hospital would have just been annoying as well. I'm thankful they finally had the good sense to put him down after that. It's just not worth the risk.

An agressive roo that is dispatched and put in the pot very soon after the beheading tastes MUCH better than a chicken who just had to be culled for other reasons. I think it has something to do with revenge adding some sweetening.

I have found that spraying a Roo that is starting to get aggressive with water mixed with a very small amount of vinegar works really well. After the first "attack", I just carry the bottle with me, and every time they start to come near me with that look, I spray them until they turn and walk away. It usually only takes 3 or 4 days of trainig, and then they just steer clear of me. Works great!

Sure, it trains them not to come after you--but what about anyone else?

We have kids and kids' friends and neighbors that feed chickens for us sometimes. NO WAY do we keep an aggressive rooster. And we kill them instead of putting them on Craigslist like we would a hen we don't want. I won't make my problem someone else's.
