HELP ME! MY ROO IS TRYING TO ATTACK ME!

[KentuckyFriedChicken]

Guys my Roo (Pickles) has been acting very hormonal since we got back from our holiday.
He was usually very protective of his hens which was great but now he seems to be attacking my family (@PippinTheChicken) and I whenever we go outside (and we aren't acting threatening or going near the hens).

Just a few minutes ago he started chasing me for no reason and he nearly got me! We had to lock him in the kitchen untill he left! It left me shaking!

Guys what can we do? We are currently in the process of re-homing him but what can we do untill we find him a new home? We are fearful as he may also attack our dog or the hens! Please help!

I'm thinking we could cage him. We have a large dog cage. Would that anger hime more?

That sounds good but what do we do at night? It seems kind of cruel though

Please no one suggest eating or culling him. We can't do that (physically or emotionally)

If he's a hormonal jerk, then put him in prison for awhile, like until he matures enough to behave.

If that doesn't work, & he continues being aggressive, there's two other options, rehoming, or the thing you didn't want mentioned.

I have a mean silkie rooster, named Cinder. Only reason he stays, is because he's my only black silkie, & he's cute.

He's my cute jerk. All he does is bite me, no kicking.

Thanks for the advice, we will try imprisoning him untill we can regome him- we can't possibly cull and/or eat him but thank you for the advice!

Our roo was like that but he is getting much more agressive so we can't live in fear of going into the garden

Silkie is just like any other chicken, but flavor wise is a bit different. Tastes both gamey, & sweet.
