Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Mean Rooster

 

i have tried the same technique and it does work alot of the time. Unfortunately my favorite only respected me afterwards and not the kids. He went to a large open range farm with no kids and a gazillion girls (with the farmers knowledge of his naughtiness) and has been doing just fine. He must like his freedom or feel less threatened there. But I miss my big guy:( --- On Fri, 4/30/10, Eric Rogers <mr.rooster2u@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Eric Rogers <mr.rooster2u@yahoo.com> Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Mean Rooster To: CHICKENS-101@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, April 30, 2010, 6:14 PM   I have a year old Dark Cornish roo. When he was about six months old he attacked me. I cought him and just held him under my arm for awhile looking him in the eye and rubbing his comb and wattles and his neck and down his breast and over his back. After a while I put him down and for the next two or three months he was fine. Then we did it all again. Lots of times when I show up he goes up onto a pen about eye level with me. I reach out as I walk by and rub his breast now. He follows me around but doesn't attack me anymore. But I've had roosters I couldn't get to quit attacking me, no matter what. Eric
