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:

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:
Grab him by the neck and shake him in a few circles.

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.
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.
That's what I was thinking, I'm going to call a few on the way home from work today.
Kind of unusual for a Polish. When they lock safeway down, its a meal.
He was our nicest chick, then the hormones kicked in I guess, and all this spring weather has him in a mood!
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.
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.

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.

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.

Be sure to take wagers prior to the little guy strapping on the equipment. 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.
Injection therapy, seasonal treatment, and about 4 hours in an old fashioned smokehouse would do the trick nicely. :tup:
