Joe, there might be another way to deal with aggressive roosters. I've posted this before somewhere, but when I was about 12 years old we had a white leghorn rooster with some long spurs that became quite a problem for me. My dad said since a rooster will attack by jumping up and raising his feet to get those spurs forward, just grab both feet and dunk him in the cows' water trough to break him of attacking. So the next day, I did that. I dunked him quickly and threw him as far as I could and he hit the ground running. But the next day, here he came at me again. So I grabbed him and dunked him in the water and held him under awhile and watched the bubbles. And that time, when I pulled him out and threw him, he landed in a pile and I thought he was dead, which scared the daylights out of me because I knew Dad would be furious if I'd killed his big beautiful rooster. But then that rooster started flopping around like a chicken with his head cut off, eventually regained his feet and staggered off, and fully recovered, much to my relief. And from that day on that rooster gave me a wide berth. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
