Owen is totally right! Human aggression is not acceptable, can rarely be totally corrected, and is dangerous. While the idiot is attacking you, he isn't doing his job, which is to take care of his hens and watch for actual predators. You are the giant who brings food every day! He's being a jerk and needs to go. Often the 'friendly' cockrels are actually sizing you up, and go into attack mode at some point. I've had cockrels who started attacking at eight weeks of age, and cocks who get ugly as yearlings. It's not cute or safe, and shouldn't be bred on. Mary
