Go figure. I had two Buff O roosters who were both mean as snakes. One would fly at me and when I bent over to grab him, his buddy would fly at my head. They both got a new home at a nearby Amish farm where I heard they were delicious.
I have no patience with a mean rooster and get rid of any that show aggression that I can't work out of them. I have about 25 roosters and cockerels right now and the worse any one of them does is the one that gives me a half hearted peck when I pick him up like he's saying 'Leave me alone! Oh, Alright, what do you want to do to me now!? Get it over with!" He's a 2 pound bantam cross rooster so not much of a threat unless you are another rooster.
If you want to breed your bad boy keep in mind that his 'umm mischievous' genes may show up in future chicks. Depends on how much you mind breaking his offspring of their dad's bad habits so to speak.
But not a bad time to try to make up with him. Right now he's living in fear of you. Maybe coax him out with a treat, some bread or something he likes. See if he will play nice now and eat out of your hand so he sees that you aren't the biggest bad you know what rooster on the block.
