Hi all....any suggestions for an aggressive rooster...my neighgbours have one and they don't want to get rid of it....it has 2 hens under its charge....is bringing in another rooster a good idea to take it's aggressiveness away from the humans a good idea?....I know it's not gardening but it's "husbandry"!! Many thanks for any replies forthcoming!!
The best way to curb a rooster's aggressiveness is the stewpot.
It might be a little gamey? I'd brine it and put it in the smoker.

Bringing another rooster into the yard is only going to irritate him, unless you find a more aggressive one, in which case, you would have a larger problem. I had an aggressive one once who decided to try me, I wore him out with a stick, and he didnt try that again.
The rooster is doing what he was made to do.

That might be good advice but last time i knew someone who hit a rooster the little #%$%& got him when his back was turrned they really have little fear and some times no matter how big you are or what you do the crazy things wil attack any way I think they have been inbred or somthing and they just go nuts sooner or later

Buy a good bird dog and let it take care of the rooster for you. Might be a little hard on the two hens though.

If you bring in another rooster, more likely than not you'll eventually end up with one rooster and one coq au vin, but not until they cockle-doodle you to death first.
This only applies to normal roosters and not metrosexual roosters.
