Is he coming after you or just getting mad when you try to handle him?

Just coming after me.
No handling of him or hens.

If it just started he may be starting to molt or he just doesn’t like you anymore.

 

[roosterhavoc]

Well, mine ain't acting LOL

You can always water board him. Lol

He probably doesn't like me anymore
I may or may not have dumped water on him this last time, I don't appreciate getting jumped from behind while carrying the water dish out the door to be cleaned If he's going to bring it, bring it head on LOL

Hmm. He’s hitting you from behind while walking away? honestly you have to walk in there like you own the joint. I’m guessing somewhere along the line he got the idea you were nervous around him. That’s usually all it takes. Since he’s already coming after you from behind I’d probably just level him and see how that works. It’s not the best approach but if you do it hard enough and he lives I can guarantee you he’ll think twice. Lol

 

[roosterhavoc]

Give him one of these.

I have no idea what I did I don't *think* I changed behavior, but it's possible - same routine everyday, but...yeah, now...I probably do tense up a little, but come on, that hurts!

Lol I know they hit pretty hard. You’re talking about the leiper/black right?

Yes and he does need spur trimming too
I "ain't" no spring chicken like you young fellas are, I can only take so much LOL
Well, I'll have to get me on a Havokk-atude and see what happens LOL

Worst case scenario he goes tits up. You can then practice dubbing to gain confidence and you’ll end up with a few chicken nuggets and some decent feathers.
