Thanks for the advice!

Sure thing! bielefelders are so awesome. Chill, friendly, beautiful. Can't say anything for their laying, since we had to cull my only one before she laid an egg

My favorite rooster has become aggressive! what do I do? how can I make him be not aggressive? please help! he is my favorite, and I don't know what to do! I have tried defending myself and kicking him away, (I even have a rake to protect myself) but he just keeps running at me! I hate to admit it, but I am really afraid of him now!
please help!

Try snatching him by the legs and holding under your arm will you work outside

That'll just make him afraid of people, affirming his idea that humans are threats. I would just ignore him, kick him away if he attacks you - wear tall boots don't feel stupid or like a wimp if you want to carry something to protect you either!
Sometimes a rooster is just mean. I've had one boy like that, but I was the only one who wasn't afraid of him if he stays mean, try and find him a home on a free-range farm with lots of hens he can protect. It'd be sad, but better than eating him.
