Rooster acting all tough until he gets held and talked to like a baby
| My family doesn't have much experience with roosters, but we've got some bantam roosters several months ago. I'd say they've reached their full size and are almost at sexual maturity. We have a rooster who is aggressive whenever I come into their coop. He'll attack my feet or bite my hand, and I need to come into the coop up to a couple times a day to feed our cross-beaked rooster, so it's kinda unavoidable. He can't really do much damage since he's just a little guy, and I haven't seen him start too much trouble with the other boys yet. Online, the advice seems to say that you're supposed to show him who's boss without being aggressive, so I keep picking him up to pet him and telling him he needs to act like a good boy. He seems to be completely fine with this and it has not helped to improve his behavior. He doesn't resist snuggle time at all. If anything, he's only gotten more intent on attacking me at every opportunity. Seasoned rooster owners, please advise ???? tl;dr I'm trying to discipline our rooster, but it is backfiring miserably [link] [comments] |
