Aggressive rooster

[sweetpea30]

I have a five month old bantam rooster who is very active all ready. I have two older hens who he seems to love one them the other he is very aggressive to looks like he is fighting her. I had to turn the hose on him He also does the same thing to my dog. My dog love the chickens.I thought keeping my dog in and let them out at different time would be okay but now he attacked my older hen. Does any one know if a Pheromone collar work on a rooster.

Generally if a rooster is that aggressive at that age it will only worsen. You could try separating him out into a separate pen while he matures more and his hormones calm down a bit.

The middle of winter is when hormones are at their lowest. He may improve but he may worse. I personally wouldn't keep him, he sounds like trouble.
