My 7 month old cockerel suddenly became a feisty guy a few months ago. I worked on chasing him into a corner and not letting him go until he stayed still, picking him up when he became mean...I would never hurt him or be mean to him, just showing him who is boss. Be patient, it might take a while. He'll still get his moments but now for the most part he knows I'm in charge. Even if he isn't being aggressive at a certain moment, I sometimes follow him around to keep him moving. If he gets into an attacking mode, I'll hold out my boot and let him attack it all he wants. I can't feel anything and once he learns I won't back down he's back in his place. He'll still attack little kids but he's getting a lot better. Be patient with your roo and he'll learn eventually!

Yes I try some of these, will be trying water gun next (hose pipe works, fine).
 
Now this is getting ridiculous now. He has started to run after me, out side and around my family's garden without his hens following him around. He was think of trying to attack me.
 
Seriously if your mom likes him so much maybe she needs to spend some time tending the birds.

He sounds awful to deal with.
Maybe then she will see he is dangerous.

Well I said what happen to my mum and she said, he likes her, him has not attacked my mum yet.

Oh asking mum to look after the my chickens wont happen, as her had other thing to do, like horse and other thing to do.
 
Welcome to the world of "attack roosters" and thank goodness they don't all have this temperment. There are very sweet roosters, but yours has a mind of his own...which seems to be made up. Be careful because when he starts flying at you things get dangerous. They usually fly at the face and head. Strange thing is that he may never go after anyone else.

Ah, this a good example of the human keepers attitude and behaviors inciting aggression...or not.
Your mum has the right attitude to keep him at bay, you need to learn her moves.
Easier said than done, I know, but still....

I did no that rooster do flying attacks, he only attacked my boots so far, but more attacks he does I block with a branch. If he does try a flying attacks he will meat the branch in the air.
