Taming Roosters

[raquelita73s]

Hello. We have a rooster Shelby. We've had him since he was a chick and he turned out to be feisty. Does amyone have any ideas on how to tame him. We love him and I wouldn't want to get rid of him it I don't want him to hurt my kids either. Thanks.

Just keep him in a pen and you and your kids go in his pen with him everyday and he should be more comfortable

Human aggressive roosters and children are not a combo that i personally would accept. At the very least, i would suggest keeping your roo in his own coop and run.
