Odd that the rage would come out at that age.

Mine was only a year old when he got violent. Drew blood and left permanent scars on my legs. I loved him but he had to be culled

They have good memories and he probably sees you as a threat now. Putting him on his back will not help and isn't safe. Search for the article on dealing with and training agressive roosters for a better approach.

Had to do something during the moment. He was activity attacking my wife, who has walked past him and the ladies hundred's of times. I grabbed him to stop the attacks. If he sees me as a threat at that time, that's a problem.

I think he was attacking you because he thinks you want his hens. There is a great rooster article on rooster behavior by @Shadrach . I’ll see if I can find it and link it here. It might be helpful for you if you get another rooster.

He came at her from 50' away.

And here is the article I think the other poster was mentioning about dealing with aggressive roosters. (there are more than one articles; this one is very well reviewed, and well written).
Best wishes on your chicken journey, including all the rooster bumps in the road.

I eat roosters until I find a good one. Found 2 in 4 years. Eaten 10.

The two I have are RIR. The last one decided he wanted to be an Olympic swimmer….. and failed. (Water trough). The current one is a darn good one too.

I don’t have time or patience to ‘fix’ a rooster. If they’re aggressive enough to challenge a human…. Just means they’re patient enough to wait till they have the upper hand. Not chancing that with young kids frequently visiting.
