Im sure its environmental too, as we re-homed a free-range cockeral (OEPF) as he was getting severely beaten up by our ex-commercial hens as he was so timid, he ended up hiding under thencars 24/7. in his new home he got very aggressive and would attack anyone in his pen.

i wouldnt tolerate a free range cockeral with kids/public around if he is aggressive as it only take one kick to scratch a kids eye. pen him or pot him.

I never thought about eating him really but I bet he will be quite tasty looking at him and everytime I go near the b....... he crows - he is a nasty piece of work and feel fed up as he is such a good hen keeper! He is going to have to be despatched I have decided and plucked - I have two many marks on my legs now and spurs are never clean so could be dangerous to my health (and passers by).Thanks everyone for your suggestions and support.

Agreed - life is too short to have to share it with a grumpy man, feathered or otherwise  .

Aggressive cockerels are much easier to dispatch than friendly ones
