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: --- End quote --- I have, and he minds me a little bit, but the wife won't/can't and neither can the little guy lol. I tried the humiliation method too, grabbing him by his feet hanging him upside down til he calms down and tapping his beak back and forth, and that works for like a day lol. --- Quote from: jackelope on April 08, 2020, 01:25:16 PM ---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. --- End quote --- That's what I was thinking, I'm going to call a few on the way home from work today. --- Quote from: boneaddict on April 08, 2020, 01:33:29 PM ---Kind of unusual for a Polish. When they lock safeway down, its a meal. --- End quote --- He was our nicest chick, then the hormones kicked in I guess, and all this spring weather has him in a mood! --- Quote from: Jpmiller on April 08, 2020, 01:22:41 PM ---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. --- End quote --- Our coop isn't walk in friendly, cheapo from tractor supply. We have taught the toddler to not turn his back on him and to stand his ground, but the rooster tried spurring him in the face, wife was close, but not close enough, luckily our little man didnt get hurt. |

Find the little guy a suitable stick and a metal garbage can lid :chuckle: Worked well for us years back with a mean rooster and younger kids. I still eventually got rid of that rooster as he was just mean to the core, prettiest rooster I ever had but had a fighting streak that you could not break. |

My kid raises rabbits. Cute, fuzzy rabbits. Every once in a while, one bites or is otherwise mean. They go to freezer camp. Don't want to pass that off on someone else. Not worth the risk. |

Good old fashion family fun |

Not sure if freezer camp is the place. I would think for a tough guy rooster, the proper place would be a soothing hot spa treatment with some aromatic therapy. That should calm him down a bit. |
