When is enough enough?

[Kessel23]

I don't want him to be permanently on his own. I think that it is best if he goes. They have all just gone in and he was causing all manner of hassle.

Your right. He's causing too much disruption and thd fact my daughter is scared doesn't warrant him staying. I got hens for the family to enjoy at the moment I'm about the only one that dares go in and I'm looking over my shoulder.

Then get rid of him.

Then get rid of him.

Thanks for your help and advice. I think that it's for the best. I know a few people that may rehome him. I'll make some calls tomorrow. I don't think he's a bad rooster but just needs someone that can deal with him better.

I wasn't here when that happened so I can't be sure as to actually what happened. Could have been her clothes, who knows? He hasn't done that since but my daughter is scared to go in on her own. That on its own defeats the object of why we got hens. I hate the thought of having to get rid of him. I know that the chances of rehoming are next to nothing. Hen squabbles are hen squabbles but I hate seeing him stressing them out.

It doesn't really matter WHY it happened. Just that it did. That would be enough for me.

Read this again about a dozen times and then ask yourself why is this cockerel worth another thought about keeping?
Seriously

If going after the kid wasn't enough, this would be for me. I see that you have decided that he needs a new home. This sounds like a good plan.

Roosters have ruined the whole chicken experience for a lot of kids. At 8, she is really not that old or probably that big. I think roosters need an experienced poultier. Wait a few years, an all hen flock is best for the first few years.

If they don't want him he will chase them relentlessly, my araucana has no feathers left on her head he's drawn blood on a few of the hens combs....... Should I call an end to it?

That would have been the point to end him......

And last week he chased my 8 Yr old daughter out the pen.

...then this would have never happened.
