I agree with SourRoses on this.
Now firstly, none of my roosters or cockerels have ever had to defend for predators, so I don't actually know how well they would do. I can just guess, going by their behaver.
One of my roosters is very intelligent, as a cockerel he would dance me a bit, but it never went to more then that. I think he knew that I wasn't a threat, you could see him thinking about it. I also think he wouldn't hesitate to attack a predator.
I had his son for a while, before I re-homed him. That cockerel inherited all his fathers intelligent, and added some.
One time, I was catching the other cockerels for weighing, and they were getting a bit upset about it.
He shot round the corner, in full attack mode....but then he saw that it was just me, and it was like a switch got turned, and he just chilled instead.
Unlike a certain RIR x that never saw sense, never seemed to think, but would just have fun trying to attack my foot, and make him feel more 'important'!
