We have a grey and white rooster, he's pretty big I guess, and he does an excellent job of taking care of the chickens. We allow them to free range on our farm, we have about 18 chickens and one rooster. We used to have two roosters who were raised together and before we got the chickens they were both friendly (as in they never attacked). After we got the chickens one rooster died. They started fighting. Now we get attacked from the remaining rooster. He seems to go out of his way sometimes. We don't want to hurt him because he does his job very well, such as letting us know if all the chickens don't return to the coop and we have coyotes around but they haven't bothered anybody. The cats ignore the chickens also because the roosters put them straight right away. Any suggestions to make him friendly or to stop the attacks? We sprayed him with a water bottle but that only worked until we ran out of water. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
