How To Put An Aggressive Rooster In Its Place

How to deal with an aggressive rooster. If you have raised your own chickens than I am sure you have come across at least one aggressive rooster! We have had 6 roosters this year and 2 of them have been aggressive, one more than the other. The rooster in this video is one of our spring chicks that we had raised that has developed an aggressive side. Our main rooster, "Jimmy" (aka the father), had bouts of aggression and using this tactic to deal with an aggressive rooster has really helped over the years keep our aggressive roosters in line. It does not hurt them in anyway and we have had good results using this technique. We hope this video helps.

i used to do that with my rooster "willy" to calm him down...but what surprised me at all was he was able to recognize his name....anytime i called "willy" he turned his head where the voice came from and run toward me very happy..

CUTE the way the hen looked at him, to see if he was ok.

4:52 " I got this, I'm alpha"
The chicken: " well damn, aight-"

Great technique and explanation! Thank you I have dreams of having a small homestead.

I used to to this but honestly this method really only works for a day though (at most). Doesn't really teach respect but can make your chickens more scared of you and more difficult to work with (even the hens get flighty if you continue do this to their rooster). The best way to get a gentle rooster is to start from when its a chick. I keep my baby roosters with me basically all day when I'm working around the farm. They follow me around as I work and I toss them bugs and scraps. When they grow up they're sweet well mannered boys who come when they're called. They even demand to be picked up and carried around. It takes a lot more time but its worth it! I have zero fear of getting kicked. They even bring me treats and random smooth white rocks. XD

Normally at home, whenever we had an aggressive rooster especially if he attacked one of the kids, he would happily end up on the grill.

We have a hen who is disable, we want to give her all the care we can as she's a fighter, but one of our roosters in particular attacked her mercilessly whenever he could. She hid between two crates we had under their coop until we put a large cage into their yard. Now she lives in the cage with her own food and water, no longer has to hide or fear, she's safe and has all the space she needs.

I love that the ladies seemed so curious and confused

Thanks for your video. My Roo was raised from a baby. He is a very good protector. But now he stalks me and it’s hard to take care of the coops and girls. I’ve tried another technique and seems to work for a day or two. But then he’s back at it. I stand my ground and the wars on. I’ll try this and see what happens. After a fight the other day I crabbed him up, tucked his head under his wing and walked around with him for a few minutes. I hate to get rid of him for the hens sake, he fights the hawks off but can’t take him much longer for sure. I’ve thought about doing this everyday for awhile. Go to him, capture him, carry him around for a bit, everyday first thing and see if that works. Show him who’s boss!! Idk 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

My mom’s rooster just killed all 14 of our chicks because her husband said it would be okay to just put them together, we now sadly know that’s not right. I’m trying to do research now because one of the roosters is extremely aggressive but kicking him off isn’t working (we think he’s the one who killed them). Thank you for your video!! I’m going to try it!!

[BandMuzick]

These random rooster started inhabiting my yard, then one just recently started attacking me for NO REASON . I seen the title of this and I just HAD to see this. If all else fails I will come across him with a pole. S/n : Just found out today when they see you as a threat!, they will call out to the other rosters! It felt like the children of the corn!

[violetlight]

Thank you so much!!! We have a new rooster, and he tries to attack all the time.

Great video, I don't have my chickens any more as we moved but my rooster was a lovely boy. He never came at us even once! Your chickens are beautiful :) I can't wait to get back into incubating

[entitiessoul]

It's awesome how your other Roosters got your back.

[cullencasa]

Thank you so much. I have am aggressive rooster I'm working with. Can I ask you what made you decide to not keep the others? What is too aggressive?

I have a very small Serama Rooster, he’s almost 2 years old. He used to be very sweet but for the past 4 months he’s been very mean to me and any human that walks near him or the hens. Recently I didn’t have time to put on my boots so I went to the run in slippers to change waters and before I knew it he came at my foot and pecked me so hard that I bled for a while. This time he really scared me. Usually I have on boots and he can’t hurt me and now he jumps high and pecks my leg. I know I won’t eat him because I still love him but I will be giving him away soon. Yesterday I hit him with a stick to stop him from chasing me…this tells me for sure it’s time to get rid of him. Thank you for sharing this post but I think he’s done taken all my patients to even try holding him down and rubbing him lol. But either way I’m loving your content and you have a knew subscriber 😊

This is a great video! We have a rooster that isn’t too aggressive but is to my 5 year old! Not sure why that is but I don’t think us doing this would help her so we’ve been letting her bring the treats out a lot to hopefully associate her as a Positive! Loved the video will stick around for more! We love making videos about our chickens as well!

[christophermartin]

I really hope this works. My super sweet rooster who we rescued because he an orphan as a chickling has become so aggressive, I can’t go in the pen. In front of the other hens I made the mistake of being aggressive back thinking I could establish dominance but it just upset the flock. Thanks for your video.

[Cynthia-vwov]

His hens were right there in the middle of everything. (Our tough guy????!!) How embarrassing and necessary. Well done. Peace reigns again.

[beebop]

Those are some pretty boys. Love those wattles.
