thank you for this link.

I think I'm going to try it with my suddenly-turned-dickhead Bresse cockerel, George. Although I think the "love" she mentions is more about the human mindset when working with an aggressive rooster, and less about HIS mindset. I think her approach is all about teaching your rooster he can trust you and that you are not a threat.

I can see, though, that it would work only with the primary caretaker, and I would NOT trust this rooster to behave with anyone else.

With that in mind, I suited up and gloved up tonight just to put him and his pullets to bed. (Step #1.) I'm not taking any chances after this morning's attack. I expect in the morning to be thoroughly flogged, and the training begins with Step #2.
We. Shall. See.
