My rooster hates me :-(

[Big-momma]

His brain is now wired to see you as a threat and that’s not going to change. You probably wouldn’t put up with a dog that attacks people, there’s no reason to put up with a rooster that does either. If you can’t kill him yourself, you can take him to a vet and have him euthanized like people do with vicious dogs. A humane death is a blessing that you can give him.

For your next rooster, if you want one, have a broody hen raise him and you will see what a difference it can make.

Thank you

I am in Maine mountains, the coop is five feet wide and twenty five feet long, the have an outdoor enclosure but hate the snow, I. Ordered chicks from the farmers union all supposed females but got two males, about three months ago I found one rooster dead, he had no trauma, no blood or feathers missing, so I have this one guy, I am not getting any good advice just hit him with a board and stuff like that, I have no intention of hurting him and I have no experience with chickens

Obviously don't bash his head in but he does need to be culled. Best way to have nice livestock is to treat them with care and respect and don't put up with mean individuals. Letting mean individuals breed will likely give you more mean animals. Temperament is result of both nature AND nurture, not just one or the other and sometimes one is so strong a factor in certain individuals that the other can't make up for it. It's in that individual bird's nature to be human aggressive and you've already done what you could via nurture to try and raise a nice bird, he likely won't change and will just be a danger
