Here is a method that I use on aggressive roosters.I take a pair of yellow chore gloves and flog the offender into submission.The cloth gloves do no harm but it is similar to what roosters do to each other to establish the pecking order.
First and last one are girl coloring in my groups, I have never had one with that feather pattern "go" boy. Middle one is the one I would question - that coloration can go either way. How old are they?
My young group of chicks has several that are coloring up black and white, so time will tell if any are females. That last one I had did turn out to be female, but she had failure to thrive, so was culled.
I'm curious, the black and white coloring?? It usually means roos?? I have 2 pullets with black and white, Oreo does have some brown coming in, but Cookie is black and white. I love their coloring and would like to duplicate it!
I have tried to handle this one more than the others. It wimps out and calms down when it is caught. With two young boys who will be learning and helping with chores here, I will have no tollerence for a mean rooster or pullet. I know my dh will definitely agree, as he has bad memories of RIR roo attacking him as a child. We will wait and see, but this one may have a career change in it's future.
