Sometimes a chicken can get defensive in a new environment, but if he really was gentle he would have settled down shortly. It's totally unfair to push a problem rooster on to someone else...sorry you went through that! I am kinda of giggling thinking of them being all smug for getting rid of him and walking outside and he's like "I'm baaaccckkk!" lol<br /><br />LisaLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-64590463687993868772020-10-10T11:01:40.742-04:002020-10-10T11:01:40.742-04:00I often do.

Said he was gentle. I lived in the country and had lots of birds at the time. The minute I got him home he began to attack me and anyone else that came close. I quarantined him for a week and after he went with the hens he started attacking us when we gathered eggs! Vicious attacks aiming for our heads. It was crazy. I called the owner and asked them to take him back. They weren’t interested. I brought him back anyway and tossed him over their fence! Good riddance. Definitely misrepresented this guys temperament. Never did business with or heard from them again. swimmy44https://www.blogger.com/profile/05272359896642599939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-66154743430789577122020-08-01T12:41:27.816-04:002020-08-01T12:41:27.816-04:00Why wouldn't you just eat him??Why wouldn't you just eat him??jirrganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235590475580769453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-40004356484250548892018-10-30T09:13:03.799-04:002018-10-30T09:13:03.799-04:00That crowing at 3 am will always get the HOAs atte...That crowing at 3 am will always get the HOAs attention! Wow, that rooster does sound a bit crazy! Sometimes they're just like that, but it's awesome that you rehomed him to a farm. Hopefully he calms down with age.<br /><br />LisaLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-43887710640367598772018-10-26T23:25:03.362-04:002018-10-26T23:25:03.362-04:00Thanks again Lisa for all your valuable info. I li...Thanks again Lisa for all your valuable info. I live in a suburb where I am not supposed to have hens. I used to have a rooster we dubbed as "crazy" due to the way he was acting at a very young age. He turned out to be very loud and aggressive. Before we set up a separate run in the fenced back yard, he commandeered the yard and would attack all of us daring to get into his territory... He would start crowing and waking up the neighborhood at 3 am. We got that letter from the homeowner association... we were lucky to have a friend in the countryside who accepted to take him in. He is very protective of the hundreds of chicken and other fowls he raises. He still has to keep crazy separated from every other bird except on hen who is now shacking with our rooster. He also still attacks my friend and his wife if they give him a chance.

One of my hens is starting down that path. If I can't settle here down, when I get new chicks, she's off too. I don't want her hurting my new young pullets. I just listed the old one as "needs more room, likes to be the queen bird" :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.com
