Rooster attacks... any hope?

This is a good read about how to raise respectful roosters... I did some cuddling of my roosters when they were younger, but I won't next time.

I have also established myself by trying to intimidate him, he stays pretty far from me and has never attacked me..
 
The best way to teach a tough little roo that you are boss is to push him to the ground immediately as he makes contact with you. Push his head to the ground while pinching the skin on the back of his neck. Hold the position until he becomes still. This is how an alpha roo deals with a young cockerel who is challenging him.

Repeat this every single time he attacks. You must be consistent. When you encounter him in the course of the day, never back away or go around him. Walk right toward him, forcing him to move out of your way.

These two things send a clearer message than kicking or throwing things at him.

great advice here!
