I have two Plymouth Rock roos I have raised since day old. They are almost a year old now. Never shown any aggression at all untill about two months ago. The smaller of the two started charging my 4 year old son. I didn't want to sentience him to the fryer but he can't be charging or aggressive. I decided to do the "show them to be submissive" trick you do with dogs. Every time he showed aggression I grabed him up, layed him flat on his back (well as much as you can lay a bird on his back lol) and in a dominate voice told him "no". I dont know if it got thru to him or just annoyed him untill he stopped.
Sounds stupid but it worked. Only had to do it a handfull of times and it's now been around two months with no aggression at all from him. My 4 year old plays in the coop, in the fenced in area I use for my run, and in the yard with them free ranging.
