I'm reluctant to kill Ivan due to his breed, Barred Rock, considered to make good pets. Yeah, I was surprised given he's never let me pet him. Then a chicken-loving neighbour told me that because Ivan is 2nd fiddle to Alfie, our true alpha rooster, he's just frustrated at not having his own flock. Almost every time Ivan attacks me Alfie maneuvers to protect me. Yet Alfie has almost never let me pet him, maybe twice, all tolled. That chicken-lover friend says she cuddles her girls. Mine wont let me catch them, let alone cuddle. All makes me too unsure Ivan is the problem, or has inherent badboy traits for passing on. Shrug, PeaceNick
