What age do roosters act like roosters?

It’s a shame gone from 5 to 2, ensuring I define you don’t lose another now, as 1 chick is terrible.

That’s terrible. I hope you can stop the cat.

I was thinking about a raccoon trap which is like a big cage that you put food in, and the door closes behind the animal once they enter the cage. I would understand if you didn’t want to do that, though, or if it was already unsuccessful.
Some people shoot cats also but I dont think I could ever shoot a cat, I’m sure other people are the same way.

Yeah I wouldn’t want to harm the cat, just warn it off. I know which house the cat belongs to, but if I complain, in their defence they can’t control a cat from going into a garden with free-range chickens I guess

I understand. Hopefully your rooster starts doing his job.

Varies by individual and breed - Roosters are individuals which mature at different rates, just like every other complex creature on the planet.

and there's no guarantee, once mature, that it will demonstrate the traits you seek. Plenty of us have had to cull roosters which either "underperformed" or proved a cure worse than the proverbial disease they were intended to combat.

I wish you every good fortune, and recommend you give more thought and effort to more direct means of addressing the "at large" cat problem. If they are collared and tagged, a call to the owning neighbor. If they are not, a call to the city/county Animal Control.

Slowly escalate from there as required, documenting all along the way.

well my bielefelder cockerels have just started to crow and fight at 5months old.

Warning a predator off doesn't work. They will come back when they think that you aren't watching. Cat's are sneaky animal's anyway's. If you trap it, you can have it ready for animal control to pick up.
