Hi. So, my rooster keeps attacking me. Is it humane to clip his wings so he can't get out of his pen?
Okay so you need to look at why. Do you have another rooster? Look at what happens before he attacks you. Are you holding another chicken? or have you held one of his chickens in the past who wasn’t happy. He may be defending them. You may need to build up your relationship with your rooster, lower yourself and feed him treats. Even carry him around for ten - fifteen minutes as you do something else. I have to carry Big Guy around sometimes when he is naughty and he does calm down so it may help. I am not personally big on clipping the chickens wings, if he is specifically jumping out of his pen to attack to you then maybe feed him treats him in the pen with the chickens so he associated your arrival with treats and hopefully that will encourage him to stay in.Â
