Not all Roos are like this. I had three Wellsummer Roos about two years ago. VERy mellow fellows. They really didnt even fight each other.
In the past I have had as many as six of varying ages. they do get "cocky" when they reach sexual maturity but the older boys slap em in line.
I have eighteen acres and a heavy predator load... The roos protect the flock by sacrificing them selves if need be.
BUT I wouldnt suffer a roo that did that to ANYone.

For livestock those are called Kissing Gates here. Just enough room to go through then the door is opened to go in and it seals off the original opening.
I won't post too much because it's such a work in progress, but the beginning of our real coop with concrete posts and a raised floor, as well as the current run with the chicken mesh. It has an airlock-type system with a gate that points either way and is held by drive magnets from a computer.
(Ignore the sheds covered with greenery, those are our neighbour's and they're letting everything fall to pieces...)

If he hits you again?!?!?! Are you serious? What is wrong with that "man" of yours? As soon as I saw you being attacked, that roo would have been headless within 5 minutes! He would have already been making soup! No stick, no coddling, no picking up and hanging upside down (except to let the last bit of blood drain out), no tennis racket, NO EXCUSES! Haven't you had enough of <---this yet?
