Thanks everybody! I'll be thinking long and hard whether to get rid of it, or keep it and try to fix its behavior. It's really interesting, hearing about everybody's experiences and advice! Thanks again.

I have done the same, but I use a fishing net. I start my chasing as soon as they start making the pullets, long before they start looking at me, and will scoop them up and either release after a bit or I toss them in jail temporarily. They learn to avoid me like the plague, and all grow into respectful roosters towards me. I'm than free to judge them based on other attributes. After they mature fully they no longer fear me because they have no need to.Ok I have a funny Silkie rooster his name is Chuck....lol He was so sweet when he was little and then when he came into his manhood he would chase me and climb up my leg clawing at me, he was so small that it didn't hurt but it became annoying when your trying to clean the coop and he was just attacking you all the time. So I carried a broom with me and chased him around with it a couple of times just shooing him away and then when ever I came into the coop with the broom he stopped chasing me and decided that there were better things to do like the females to attend too than just attacking me. It worked with other roosters that were a lot bigger so try it and see how it goes.
