I've got a 4 month old rooster who's turned into a little monster!!! He's one I incubated and then raised in my room, pretty much on my shoulder for the first 2 months of his life, and now he's gone mad on me. He'll be great one day, but then the next he turns on anyone who is around, he reaches through the bars of his pen and attacks feet, hands, legs, anything he can get a hold of! You go in and he charges at you and bites so hard that he's left a gash and bruise on my wrist. How can I get him to stop? I'll get after him with a broom or anything i've got with me and push him back, and then I can grab him and he's back to his sweet old self and will fall asleep on his back in my arms, so I know there is still some good left in him. I really don't want to have to give him up, but he's around children, and I can't have him continue doing this...
I don't want to have to turn him into dinner either.
