And Dan, he probably paid attention about pecking you because he realizes that your the only other male around to turn to, so why peck the hand that feeds you, so to speak!
I was in a similar situation on the the flip-side, 2 sons, a husband, a male dog...
I remedied that, had a daugther, got a female dog, a few female rabbits (we all know what happens with those
), a boatload of hens....I don't feel so lonely anymore.
You need to get a big old male mastiff or something to balance the testosterone around there. hee hee
