So my hen has been on her eggs for 8 days. The last few time I've entered the pen my rooster has attacked. Usually my legs but today I was bent down checking my broody hen and he got my head. I don't really want to cull him unless it's a must. Is he just protecting her or is he going to get more aggressive? I have two children to think about. He doesn't attack my husband so far it's only me. But I am usually the only one getting the eggs from the other boxes.
Also he is just starting to grow his spurs (?), I think that's what they are called. I'm new to this.
