HELP ME! MY ROO IS TRYING TO ATTACK ME!

[MysteryChicken]

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

I let him out of the coop most of the time, or avoid him, when I enter the coop.

My black Sumatra, Demon is a nightmare, which I have to deal with.

No one would want to get an aggressive rooster so we might have to just take him to an animal shelter

There's people out there that believe a mean rooster is a better protector.

If you pick up the boy after dark (then they are easier to handle) and hold him down to the ground for 10 minutes. He learn that you are the boss. Do this every evening as long as needed , maybe for a week. But never trust him with children.

P.S
Do avoid offspring from a mean rooster.

The above never works. You have to be the biggest rooster. Go in with your arms raised, crowing loudly, and never avoid him. Put him in the position you think you are in.

That won't fix my Demon. I used the football method, which only worked alittle bit. He's now pure evil.

Tried offering him some grass yesterday, & all he wanted was to try biting my hand through the gate.

He's not even mated hens yet, only bowls

Animal shelter isn't gonna want to deal with one either.
Cage him until he can be rehomed. Rehome sooner then later if you're sticking him in a small cage.
Advertise him as a fryer and give full disclosure that he is aggressive.

So um, your rooster treated you like a predator and you react like a predator. Good call there
