My rooster hates me :-(

Can you eat a 2 year old rooster?

Absolutely. Age in a bird only adds to the cooking time.

Yes, try pressure cooking him

He has hurt me badly on many occasions, and will violently attack me every chance he gets. He will literally wait outside my car and attack me as soon as I get out. He will chase me to the door and attack me from behind. The other day, when my husband was holding him, he was trying to hand him to me so I could hold him and try to get him to understand that I'm not the bad guy, he bit me twice while I was trying to get him! That he has never done before, holding him was the only way I could get him to not attack, but honestly I can see the look in his eyes, he really hates me! He is much friendlier with my husband, and while aggressive with the others who live at my house, he is the most aggressive with me.

I had a hen like that. She ABSOLUTELY hated one of my family members and every occasion she got would try to bite her. Try rehoming him, maybe somewhere where they have other chickens to boss him, if you feel bad about culling him. He's not safe for your grandchildren.

Rehoming a human aggressive rooster, especially one that human aggressive is a bad idea. If they don't know what they're doing they or someone else could get hurt. If they hatch chicks from him, his chicks will have his genes for a bad temperament and what was just your problem now becomes multiple people's problem. An aggressive roo can ruin the hobby for a new person and the best way to make sure there are more nice roosters is to not breed or sell/give away the mean ones

Yes, only you know your rooster and if he's like that, he will probably never get over it. Keeping others safe is definitely a first priority!

Yes. You can.

You can just roast him but turn the oven down a bit after 30 min and cook for a longer period of time than you normally would.

That is good to know.

Even though he is "only" a bird, a rooster can actually inflict some pretty serious damage to you or another person, especially a child. Please don't risk it! He'll make a wonderful soup. Or if you can't bear to dispatch him, rehome him to someone, tell them why, and don't ask what they plan to do with him, nor make them promise not to eat him. Everything in life has a purpose, and his is NOT to stay where he can harm you or yours.

THIS. I am a 6'2" man. I had one rooster who use to be really friendly as a chick and cockerel, but then started to attack me when he was mature. He never attacked head on. Always sneaky attacks from the side or behind.
One time I turned around because I knew he was about to attack. He was already in the air and ended up spurring me right at the knee.
He hit with full force and he was a big boy.
I was wearing short. He drew blood.
I ended up limping for a couple of months. Turned that not only did he injure my knee due to the force with which he hit but I also got an infection.
So, kill him now. There is no reason to keep such a rooster.
I have 4 roosters right now, and have exactly zero worries that any of them will attack me.

Exactly what hapoened to me, minus the infection. You don't think a "mere" bird can seriously injure you. But he certainly can!
