Rooster hurt his leg while attacking me!!

Yeah, I totally understand that you still adore him. I have a huge soft spot for roosters myself and when you try to see the world from their perspective, it's much easier to be motivated to work with them. I think I read in one of your posts that he was really sweet until you got him hens. This tells me that he just doesn't understand what your relationship with the hens is. He thinks you are his competitor rather than his helper. He is confused. It's just a matter of working with him and getting him to understand that you aren't competing for sexual access to his hens. Easier said than done of course.

That makes total sense, if he sees me giving his hens treats and they run over in excitement to see me he will actually get mean with the hens and run them off and he will get crazy on me. It's so obvious he doesn't like them getting excited or taking treats from me. I just don't know how I can prove it to him that I'm not after his Ladies . Silly rooster
