| Anyone need/want a rooster? |

| Elliott:
We have a 1 year old Polish rooster. He is a very good flock defender, even though he has crazy head feathers, he still sees hawks and eagles before we do and alerts all the girls to get to cover. However, he doesn't have any manners. He will try and spur me almost every day, but will back down after a swift kick to the chin or chest, but he will not back down to the wife, and will straight up chase down our 2.5 year old boy. We have had it with him. My wife wants to take him for a car ride and drop him off in the woods, but I just can't do that. I also don't want to kill him just because he's class a jerk. SO, if you want a goofy looking, black and white polish rooster that will vigorously defend some hens then send me a PM. Or if you know where we can "donate" or surrender a rooster, let me know. Thanks guys! |

have you tried grabbing him by the body and shaking him in a few circles? That has worked for me with a few nasty suckers and it only takes a time or two and they will remember not to mess with you :chuckle: |

I found going into the pen, charging at him immediately and kicking him about as far as you can only takes once or twice and they get the message. Might be tough to get your toddler to do it though. Turkeys were always easier to break than roosters for me. Had to get aggressive with some growing up but never had to go further than the running kick. |

Last night me and my daughter removed our rooster from the roost, snipped the end off of his spurs and trimmed his nails. He decided to sneak attack me a few days back and actually put a small hole in my shin through my pants. If we had small kids around he would have probably been removed that day possibly served with rice. Kids are all big enough to soccer ball him around if he causes trouble again, with Spurs trimmed he is not as scary now. :chuckle: |

You might check your local feed stores. A couple by us have a pen for free roosters. Just drop them and go. They feed and water them and they always seem to find a home somewhere. Worst case send him to freezer camp. |
