Rooster attacking the water bucket?

Just when the bucket moves so far.

How old is this bird?
Is he the only male bird?
How old are your kids?

Xena is 9 months old and he is the only male.
My 8-year-old is the only one that helps regularly. I also have a 4-year-old and an 11-year-old.

Ah, sadly it is not just the bucket. He's trying to get behind me when I enter the run. This morning went after my son again when I was right there. I guess time to research Plan B.

Separate him while you 'research'.
This is when having another enclosure or crate can really come in handy.

Sorry to hear that. I've seen a ton of posts on my local FB groups of people trying to get rid of their roos and no responders. I have a 1y/o roo that is very well behaved as are the other roos, just have too many. I just sectioned off part of the run to keep them in during the day and give the ladies a break. Even just a tarp or the plastic fencing might work as a temporary divider...
