Bad Rooster!!

[aart]

Thank you for the ideas about the water hose/gun. I can pick him up in the morning and night. He gets aggravated when I pick up the chicks or play with them. He is nice with with the hens/chicks but when I win in a fight he starts to get rude with them. Then he's nice to them in like 3 mins. Then fights me again. But thank you for those good ideas

He treating the others bad because you are 'competition'......I've seen this with multiple cock(erel)s.

Chances are his behavior is why he was for sale.
How long have you had him?

You might be able to work it out with him, but it will take time and much observation / understanding of chicken behavior on your part.
Aggression when you handle the other birds is not acceptable IMO.

I don't try and start a fight with him. I've been working on my coop replacing rusty old wires. So I stand around with my back towards him. He was sold because the owners didn't want a rooster. They buy chickens from a website and they buy straight run and yes they did say they sold it because it chased there 7 and 10 year old kids. He rarely gets mad any more when I pick the hens up since I did those actions above.
