Were new to the backyard chickens. Had a good friend that had some family troubles and we sort of adopted there chickens. Theres 7 total, 1 buff orpington rooster, 4 buff orpington hens, 1 rhode island red hen and 1 black australorpe. There all about the same age, about 8 or 9 months old. They hens all are laying eggs great, 4 or 5 eggs daily. The problem is the rooster has suddenly became aggressive toward our 2 year old grandaughter. She was the only one he did this to until a couple of days ago, now its my wife also, he charges her every time she goes into the run. Im not sure what to do, I don't really want to get rid of him because he seems to really protect the hens. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do? Thanks in advance for any advice
