Well I usually just put my foot under them and toss them away; sometimes not too gently.
If his attacking from behind you need something to let him know that you are the boss and he is dumplin seasoning on the waiting list.
Carry a switch or stick or whatever and use it on him. Carry it with you anytime you are around him until he learns his lesson.
If you have a dip net, try catching him in it when he cpmes around. Then either put the net on the ground and fix it where he can't get out or put him in a cage until you are through doing the chicken chores.
When you leave, let him out. If you do this a few times, he should just run away when you walk in carrying the net.
If he is free ranging, he will learn to keep his distance from you.
As long as you let him attack it will just get worse.
I plan on trying to go to P.O.O.P.S. Last weekend I went to Arbuckle Lake and the two weekends before that I was helping my Parents move into their new house and visit my sister from Virginia she was there to paint the kitchen and bedrooms.

It may not be your computer. I have had some problems here on BYC this morning and I got that message also.
One time it would not let me replay to a post for several minutes.
Catch the rooster and hold him upside down for awhile, do this a couple of times and he might get the idea that you are top dog, if he doesn't understand, I would use the frying pan
technique. works for a mean rooster every time,
