ok.. I have a Red Rock rooster that is about a year old.. he and I are having major issues.. at first he was attacking my feet once in awhile and he would back off if I swung my foot out and stomped a little.. but last night he and I actually had a 5 min fight.. he tore my feet up and would just not back down.. he is protective of the hens.. and I understand that... but two of my hens are afraid of him... and he had them cornered in the side of my yard against the gate.. so I went over to pick them up so I could put them in the coop because it was bed time.. the practically jumped into my arms and them my dumb rooster started full out attacking me.. I ended up having to toss the hens past him so they could get to the coop and he just kept charging me... it got to the point where I started kicking him back... he just would not stop.. he tore my feet up and I probably hurt him a bit to... I am not sure what to do with him besides get rid of him.. he needs to learn that I am not going to hurt the hens and that I am in charge and not him..
does anyone have any tips I can try besides having a kicking match with him to get to back off... I am about to get rid of him.. but I don't know if that will throw my other hens off that free range and hang around with him.. I don't want to loose my hens.. he keeps them rounded up and they follow him everywhere... except for the two that seem to hate him with a passion... :/
and help would be great..
