The one that got me was Faverolle, not a gamebird.

Even easier to work with.

My point was that roosters of *any* type are more than capable of inflicting bodily harm, especially to children. All of my roosters live together somewhat peacefully and none of them show any aggresion towards people, so no "rooster training lessons" needed here.

My point is the training lessons are clearly needed and with a lot of people. Getting a better handle on how to control aggression and its impacts will enable focusing on other much more challenging aspects of their care.

You originally wrote: "Stop running from him and relax. He will not be able to cause you real harm but you obviously can do such to him with minimal effort. If he is valued then start working with him to break aggressive pattern, otherwise re-home or eat him."

That is not true, he could hurt someone. That was my *only* point.

A Roo,Dog or any other animal can be aggressive to the point of hurting someone. I am personally very new to chickens and would LOVE more info on your methods! I accidentally got a Roo and do not want him to become the boss haha!

In your situation problems not yet realized and may not be. How do you interact with your birds.

They are all handled daily, especially the Roo they are only 9 weeks . I'm not scared of them. I think that is probably the issue a lot of the time. But I've noticed he is pushy with the girls and tends to herd them.

Interactions between male and females should not a be a concern. Do not treat him differently that females. Have you ever had them peck you, even at one day of age?

Well this rooster just bit a huge chunk out of my sisters leg yesterday so I didn't want the same thing to happen to me

Uhhh...have you thought about wearing PANTS if you fear you might get bitten or scratched? Carrying a pole and bashing them in the head is just....never mind.
