I wanted to come back with an update.
This is one stubborn cock, but he still only runs at me. I think he feels the need to assert himself since his sons have reached 20 weeks, but the behavior is still unacceptable. So far no attitude from either of his sons but maybe that's in part from watching me push their father around when he acts up.
His aggression still been reduced to threatening runs at me, but that's still not acceptable. I've grown lazy and instead of batting him on the comb, or pushing him down with a hand, most of the time I'll try to step on him. It takes some balance, but I have stepped on him. Only once was he cocky enough to turn around and bite my ankle. I only ever apply enough weight to pin him.
When he gets cocky, I put my foot down.
A date is being picked and he will be gone by the end of the month. He's proven too aggressive to keep in the flock, but at least I got it under control long enough to breed a replacement.
