I would suggest rehoming them to someone who knows their temperament if you are not able to call them. I well understand not wanting to cull birds you care about and raised, but your safety is also important.

Personally, I do not think you deserve to be attacked. I think it sets the wrong mindset if you let others attack you. It is like you are not worth anything.

Now, if you can take it and it does not shake your confidence and it is more of a battle of Witts and determination, well that is up to you. But do know, the next person may not want to play the game, and will not find it funny if they get attacked, and they will be attacked because this rooster thinks that is the game.

Always wear long pants, boots and long sleeves to protect yourself. Being attacked all of the time generally ruins the whole chicken experience.

To the OP - send him to the people that will take him, and don't ask what they did with him.

Also I’ve hatched a few chicks from them and their hens- does that mean the chicks will be aggressive? Thx in advance.

They could be. My cockerel was returned to his breeder after first attacking me, then my two dogs. Of his two sisters one has been aggressive toward me for no reason other than I was carrying food and she wanted it. She is quite dominant toward my bantams as well.

I started carrying a rake with me every time I go feed. I just shake the rake at my roo and tell him "it's you or me boy, and it's gonna be me!" and haven't had a problem since. Its worth it since otherwise he's a good rooster. And it's only me. No one else in the family.

Edit: Re-home him/them before he/they put an eye out or worse. Separate both mean ones from the small guy before he's hurt

They honestly need to be soup, part of raising livestock is culling when necessary and those roos 100% need to be culled. If you can't do it yourself, see if there's a processor nearby who'd be willing to butcher them for you. They may be attacking only you now but they will start attacking other and aggressive roos are a liability, most home insurance doesn't cover poultry so if your boys attack someone and they sue, you're out of luck. If you do end up having to give them to the farm, do it with full disclosure but I'd try talking it over with your parents again first, it's not fair for you to be getting attacked by jerk cockerels and aggressive roos can ruin the hobby
