Well, I'm not sure, then. I have one who occasionally challenges me. I usually have a food bucket to put casually between us. Once it was empty and I gently slipped it over his little self. Didn't hold it there above 5 seconds. He didn't approach me after that for a while, but He did eventually go after me again once. He just ran himself into the bucket. That's been 3-4 weeks past, maybe longer.
I don't turn my back on him. I would process him, but I want to put him in with the girls first. He's my only rose-comb rooster, and I want to eventually have a flock with all rose-combed (or similar) birds. It's cold up here on the mountain.
I don't like his attitude, but I've got him and a few hens with rose combs so I'll worry about attitudes later. There are no children here and so far I'm having no trouble handling him. I never cuddled any of them (too many birds to cuddle them much). He's just over-supplied with testosterone, I guess.
