Stop petting aggressive roosters, confront them, stand your ground, use a rake or a broom, fight back, Chase him throw things, a lot of roosters will try this once, if he's successful he will do it again, he doesn't bother your husband because he's dominant and not afraid, if you're unwilling or unable to do this get rid of him, and don't feel guilty, no one needs to be terrorized by their poultry, and I have tried carrying, it works sometimes because they become frightened, others just get angrier. I only have had one aggressive rooster and it was because I would pet him, it made us equal, think like a chicken, dominant roosters chase and harass lesser roosters, you don't have to be cruel, just dominant.
