Urgent advice needed, is he going to bite me

[Glenmar]

I am honest with anyone inquiring about him. He is actually very quiet in his separate run. It is like the wind has been taken out of his sails to be separated from the girls.

I may end up processing him myself, but I am going to see if someone else comes along first. I did not hatch any of his chicks. I will post some pictures this week.

He is free ranging now. Here is a picture of him.

Has he calmed down at all?

He seems calmer without the girls, but I still don't trust him. We will see..

I would not re-home him, you are just passing on your problem to someone else who is then going to have to deal with him. IMHO, thats as bad as selling a sick bird to someone because you don't want to deal with it yourself. You don't have to eat him if you don't want to do through the whole process of killing and cleaning, and can just toss him in the trash if that easier.

If you do decide to give him away, please make sure you tell the other person that he is aggressive and can be mean. I've seen more then a few times when an unsuspecting new chicken owner brings home a new rooster only to be attacked by it.

Let him attack you a few more times and you will have no problem eating him.

I just put 2 in the freezer! And I don't feel guilty!

I bought a quad of Salmon Favs a few months back. The lady told me, "when you handle the hens, put him up first, he's a little protective of his girls." Man, she wasn't kidding. It didn't take long for the aggression to progress - it didn't matter what I was doing, he was constantly threatening me, didn't want me anywhere near the coop - MY coop, not his! So, he went to the freezer and things are so much more peaceful

He is gone. As in done. RIP. Bad Roo.

Sorry.

What happened? (Don't answer if I'm being too nosy.)

A friend of mine dispatched him after he became aggressive with them. He was loose in the barn yard. I suppose it
needed to be done. Hopefully I can get a nice rooster sometime.
