Why and what do you do when a cockerel turns agressive?

[BuffOrpington567]

Here we go, rather off topic while the OP has run for the hills.

This was actually wrote 2 in the morning in the UK and I am not up at that time so I'm not running for the hills.

The culling was done last night, even though I hated doing it. Thanks for all your help

I read this entire thread and from what I understand you killed a 2 month old cockerel for being too aggressive? Scratching you with his claws? Was he actually trying to kick you or just jump up at you? In the future 2 months is WAY too young to determine whether a rooster will be aggressive.

2 months was the duration I have had him for. I got him from a friend who had hatched him. His acutall age was around 5 months and he was fine untill then.

2 months or 5? thats a huge gap. I thought you said you hatched him out?

Friends, some people thrive on stirring up contention for attention or enjoyment.
Long-time or active BYC members are well aware of this.

If everyone agrees to abandon this thread it will die.

Its a bit confusing, but my friends I got him from, I helped them hatch thier chicks out as I liked seeing them hatch from incubators. They let me have him when all the chicks were about 3 months old, and they had a spare cockerel so they let me have him. I didn't technically hatch him but i was their when it happened and had helped when they were hatching. I had him then on till he was 5 months, thats when he started being aggressive. In my first thread you quoted, I put it wrong, i ment that was the time i had, had him for.

Sorry, that was the time I have had him for. He is about 21 weeks (5 months)
