Odd Rooster Behavior

[LilChickenWhisperer]

My beautiful Barred Rock rooster has been doting on my mom and I, but he attacks my brother. I was just wondering how many others had odd rooster behaviors too?
Also, why are certain hens' saddles messed up but my other ladies are fine?

There is probably a long answer to this and someone with more rooster experience will provide it but a rooster will attack anything he thinks is a threat. His being friendly with you is a good sign he thinks people are chickens or he is a people. Was he hand-raised by any chance?

As far as the hens go, roosters have their favorites and those are the ones who get the most….affection. How many hens do you have?

Your brother is a male, so is the rooster. The rooster knows this and is defending his flock. He'll likely turn on your mom soon, how old is he?
