I think it’s a rooster cause it chases me all around the yard beating me unmercifully about the buttocks. Don’t let his size fool you he can get some air. Coming at me like Liu Kang with a bicycle kick. What should I do?

SEPERATE HIM! Put him in chicken jail

Is this a rooster?

Not sure, first I have a few questions before I can answer.
What are you feeding it? How's it's poop look? Where does it sleep at night? Have you checked it for mites and lice? Did you buy this bird from a feed store bin or order it from a hatchery, or did you hatch it from an egg.
If you hatched it from an egg was it pointy or round, and did you perform a float test to determine viability?
What kind of vitamins and supplements have you been providing and do you or don't you use a heat lamp in your coop?
Also, if you haven't done this already please add your location to your profile.

Could he be molting?

I think I’ll set up a bachelor flock. I just can’t give him away to someone that will use them for training or slap em down on a bed of coals. They deserve a chance too!

I thinks it might be look at those waddles and crown! I don't thinks he supposed to have that black/brown on the legs or beak so I think something is wrong with him. He could use some vegetables and garlic that will clear right up.
He's got a mean look in his eye too, I think he needs some peepers so you can't see those mean eyes.

If all else fails re home him but you need to make sure he's not going to be ate or used for nefarious shifty purposes.

Thank you so much for the quick replies!! I usually just feed left over fries, potato chips, and stale Cheerios.
No bugs that I’ve seen but I’m not really sure what I’m looking for.
Craig’s list I got a great deal on 7 chickens, 2 goats, 1 donkey and 4 dogs. I just couldn’t pass it up.
Ive been giving them mostly nutridrench so far with a side of garlic, cayenne, ginger and sage.
No heat lamps but I do build small warming fires inside the coops on the very coldest days.
Why do I have to add my location? So you people can judge me? I’m not opening myself up to that kind of ridicule.

Kudos to you for asking the *experts for help!! Is vet care an option? Can you post pictures of the rooster, your coop setup, wife, meatloaf and anything else you feel will be necessary to help this poor rooster survive. I don’t have much experience so I’ll tag someone that can help. @shawluvsbirds , @chucknorris , @rickmoranis
I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. We’re here for you!
