Tolbunt Polish

Pics
[COLOR=800080]Oh Welasharon, I would get myself a straw broom and give that rooster the fight he is looking for.  I would then pick him up and carry him around upside down for a bit, it changes the attitude some how.  I think he needs some hurt to help him feel the love.  :thumbsup [/COLOR]

 


I have whacked him...to the point I am amazed it didn't damage him....but I didn't pick him up and tote him...My husband can stand there and he does nothing at all. It is very frustrating.
 
Sharon, I can't say it works on every rooster. I've already had a D'Uccle bantam that it didn't work on. Every time I turned my back, he thrust his body into my legs.

I have to say I had luck with the roos I had/have. But I'm sure there are roos that don't modify their behavior. If he's that mean, I would rehome him. No point in anyone getting hurt.
 
Honestly in all this talk of rooster aggression, here's just my opinion - If it attacks aggressively more than once, kill it or sell it. Sorry, just my opinion. Aggression in most cases is genetic, and is much too common already in hatchery stock Polish. I recently put down my Crele project rooster, loved him and he was a SUPERB flock protector, always attacked the threat and never blamed the hen, always was a quiet gentleman, but, he had a weird act of dominance over me that eventually escalated to actually attacking me. Not gonna put up with that. His previous owner mentioned challenging her, so, sounds like true aggression to me. I saved his beautiful pelt though.

Personally the only case in which I could see not getting rid of an aggressive rooster is if you had no other choice and he truly had some nice qualities you will want. If I only had one Tolbunt and couldn't afford more in the near future, but he was a meanie, I'd try him. See how his offspring all turn out. But otherwise I'd put him down, not even sell him. I don't like passing on aggression for someone else to have to deal with, then breed on to more owners.

Yeah, I'd feel bad if he went somewhere and they let him injure a child. He is a tolbunt/GL cross and is beautiful but I have a pure tolbunt pair...a GL/tolbunt cross hen...and 8 tolbunt chicks. I think I will keep him penned for a bit but I am imagining I will have to kill him.
 
I would not keep an attack rooster.  I do, however, give them one more chance to modify their behavior.  If they haven't after a week, they go.


I tried to feed him in his little chicken jail and he was throwing himself at the door trying to get to me...not a good sign. I finally had to just toss his food in on the ground. I think I will put on covered toe shoes and jeans tomorrow and let him out. If he comes at me...he's dead.
