We are dealing with an aggressive Bantam Cochin. He was so sweet until the hens began laying and now we can't go in the hen house without protection. Se are trying to catch him and hold him along with petting, but he hasn't let up any. Today he bit my 8 week old Silkie when I had them all outside and this really made me mad. This Silkie in my sweet baby!!
We caught him and did the petting thing and my husband put him down and he came right back at him from behind!

We will not give up, but it can be aggravation! Hang in there......

See my reply on 05/08/2008 on Why keep the rooster attacking me?

I have now a mean feisty rooster, only 7 weeks old, attacking his brothers and me. I have him separated from the other chicks and he and I are becoming quite the friends as he is now depended on me for company.
I was almost ready to feed him to the next raccoon stopping by but I am enjoying this challenge, especially now he is getting more friendly. He fell asleep on my lap late this afternoon! he peeps friendly when he sees me.
During the day he is in a pen while the others are free ranging and he is getting better and less defensive.
His name? Lil Bush because only a few like him.

I also realised that my feeding Gracie treats was a challenge to his bantam cochin manliness. He would do his little sideways dance keeping her steered away from me. I hand him the bugs or offer the treats to him...which he immediately coos and calls to her that he has a morsel for her to eat. So it's a win win...he gets to be the man and he looks to me for treats. I don't think he will ever stop doing the following routine or coming at me...but he still has all his sweet side too where we snuggle and watch TV together etc.....It is spring and he's protecting his brood. After Gracie lays an egg (which she could care less about....he climbs into the box nd talks to the egg, moving it around the nest placing the hay just so....HE KNOWS! And sometimes after he has tried to attck when I go pick him up he makes this sighing sound that I swear he says he feels bad and didn't mean to
