I stop an aggressive rooster by chasing him into a corner of the pen, picking him up by his feet and hanging him upside down for a couple of mins. He learned I was the dominant one and I never had another problem out of him. He was young and it was the first time he tried to attack me. I now walk all around the pen and he walks in the opposite direction. I guess I was lucky and this worked for me.

Going to try this.

I think, from my experience, that a lot of behavior is genetic. I'm a real hands-on chicken keeper. I do believe that with some cases, more handling equals aggressive roosters. But not always, and that's where I think genetics come in.

I have a Silkie rooster that was really bad. He was so aggressive he bit me in the face. I handled him a lot as a chick/cockerel. He is now 7 years old and pretty mellow, but I don't fully trust him. I had a Production Red that was handled just as much and the sweetest rooster ever! And his sons are the sweetest roosters too!

With your boy, I would wait and see. One of my EE roosters went through a cocky teenager stage where he would bite my shoes (of all things!) but completely grew out of that nonsense and is a bit shy around me now. Good luck to you!
