I have a Buff rooster and recently start attacking me.

Get rid of him unless you want some serious injuries in future, or to breed more human-aggressive birds.

Best wishes.

You're welcome, I hope you get a good rooster who does his job and doesn't attack you. Plenty of good males out there.

Best wishes.

Happy hunting with that, but please, don't believe the read-up for the breed because every single thing anyone says about their temperaments doesn't apply to every animal from that breed. It only ever applies to the strain or family line that person has personally interacted with from that breed. Many people post on this forum asking why their birds aren't acting like the breed standards or info says they will.

On this site you will see many reviews of every breed, and every single reviewer has a different experience. No matter what the breed average is, there is always someone who found them 'aggressive, flighty, noisy, weak' and someone else who found them 'sweet, friendly, calm, quiet, healthy' ---- what actually matters is the breeder, not the breed.

Whoever bred the last few generations is the best guide to what they are like, because no matter what they started with, their choices of breeding males and females are what has shaped the traits their strain of the breed passes on.

For example, in 7 generations or less, you can take friendly, calm, quiet birds and breed them into aggressive, noisy, skittish ones. They are still the same breed. The person who doesn't cull birds who don't match the breed standard, ruins the breed standard and reputation.

Plenty of people ruin breed reputations because they believe things like 'he's male, so it's natural for him to attack my children and me, and kill all other males and his own offspring, and rip the hens to shreds whenever he mates' --- so instead of culling a bad male, they keep him and breed him, and degrade that family line by doing so. Just because they believe all males are like that.

Your best bet is to talk to the breeder first and find out what they believe. What they believe is natural or normal is what they've been selecting for and it's what their birds will pass on.

If they breed birds which attack people, don't buy from them unless you want more of the same. It takes a while to breed out and they can give you serious injuries in the meanwhile. There are plenty of good males out there, who won't harm you or your kids, or your other pets or the hens, or their own offspring --- or any other male's offspring, either, or even the other males --- so if you know what you're after you will get a good one.

Best wishes, I hope you get a great rooster. Or roosters, if you want a few, one of the perks of having a good male is that you can have more of them, which is necessary if like me you have a free range operation with hens of different family lines that you need unrelated roosters to breed.
