I live in Spartanburg, SC and I have a bantam blue cochin rooster who will not stop flogging my children and myself every time I turn around. I'm hoping someone has more patience, and can help him get better. I don't have the heart to cull him. I can't let my kids be afraid to come outside and I...

Hello! I have a Rooster that is continuously wanting to flog my Dad. He doesn't flog anyone else but my Dad. Is there a way to stop him from flogging, other then going in the pot? The Rooster attacks when he's not looking or has his back to the bird.
