I used the method every time he went after me, it just made him worse. He bit up my arm today, cuz I had to move him to a pen briefly.
I named him Demon for a reason.
That won't fix my Demon. I used the football method, which only worked alittle bit. He's now pure evil.
Tried offering him some grass yesterday, & all he wanted was to try biting my hand through the gate.
I have a mean silkie rooster, named Cinder. Only reason he stays, is because he's my only black silkie, & he's cute.
He's my cute jerk. All he does is bite me, no kicking.
If he's a hormonal jerk, then put him in prison for awhile, like until he matures enough to behave.
If that doesn't work, & he continues being aggressive, there's two other options, rehoming, or the thing you didn't want mentioned.
