Hi,
My roo is starting to attack my husband. He has (so far) only danced at me. On occasion, though, my husband will go out and Big Red will fly at him. I have suggested (from reading posts here) that Carl pick up Big Red and carry him around (keeping beak far from face). So I guess this isn't a question but a worry: we just had to cull three of Big Red's sons; still haven't recovered. I have chickens for eggs and pets. The very idea of having to "get rid of" Big Red. . . ;-(
I'll let things ride for now. But Carl is getting fed up. So any tricks of the trade will be welcome. Though I will say, I don't see the sense of catching Big Red in a net and carrying him around, nor water pistol--both options read on this site. I think holding the creature seems to make most sense. So he knows you aren't a threat but also who is boss. So long as you are careful of your face and eyes?
