Would you consider rehoming? In my experience they don’t change, I tried carrying him around with me, walking through him, letting him know I was boss, to no avail, the minute I turned my back or wasn’t looking…he had my ankles! I think if they are aggressive, it’s just their make up, as a chick, he used to sit on our shoulders and was always handled..great at first, then turned into the devil, he bit my foot and drew blood once, he waited outside the back door I have young grandkids so I wasn’t taking the chance, what is he like with your other birds?

When I'm dealing with aggressive roosters, including my past Silkie, I use the following steps-
-Put on some tall rubber boots, you'll need them to protect your legs. Grab some gloves for your hands as well.
-Go out into the coop an go about your buissness
-When he comes at you to attack, balance on one foot and raise your other boot to put it between him and you. He'll likely jump, bite and maybe even flog your boot.
-Begin to hop towards him and pin him up agains a wall. As you move in his direction he'll continue to flog, but move backward with your pace.
-Once you've got him at a corner or wall, reach down quickly as he realizes you don't care about his hissy fit, and grab him before he darts off. He likely wont try to bite you here.
-Hold him with his wings to his sides, adn kneel to teh ground. Place him on his side on the ground and hold him there. I prefer to hold their head to the ground as well.
Since he's quite aggressive, "peck" him with your finger and pull on his feathers. I hold him for about a minuet.
-Now let him up. He'll get all cocky and coo. If he comes at you again repeat the process.

Its very important to make sure that EVERYONE who goes into that coop does this. If you have kids that aren't old enough to do this, theres a chance he will always have a problem around the kids. Roosters aren't always the best for households with children since children display submission, giving the rooster the upper hand.
This system works well for me for most of my roosters, but sometimes they continue to be aggressive. If he wont respect you after trying your best to assert dominance, it might be time to consider pulling out the soup pot.
