Interesting! So how mean can roosters get? I feel like Roosevelt (rooster) tests my gangster every now and then... but he's never been aggressive towards me. Well, okay, so there was this one time/day where he kept trying to peck me over and over and over (throughout the day) and the very last time he did it, I grabbed my snow shovel and *boop* he learned to fly (I scooped him up and flung him, so he wasn't injured). Haven't had any issues out of him since then though. He's definitely not mean w/ the girls. He's actually a gentleman w/ them lolThere are several reasons to get rid of a rooster
1. Human aggression
2. Aggression towards the hens
3. You have too many for the amount of hens you have
4. You have multiple rooster and they won't get along
5. They aren't allowed where you're at (which doesn't sound like is the case where you're at)
Depending on why you need to remove said rooster you have a few options

2. Rehoming if the rooster is otherwise nice towards humans and hens
3. Separation into a separate setup if you have the space. You should have the ability to do this at least temporarily anyways as birds may need to be temporarily separated for a variety of
... but is his behavior a cause for concern?
