    I have a roo that has been showing aggression towards me whenever I pick him up, move him around, whatever. He's only "attacked" me once or twice, like flying at me, but now all he does is bite. Bc of this, I had to start wearing gloves to pick him up with.

    This morning as I was walking to his pen, he saw the gloves and was trying to jump at them. I figured he was just trying to be his big bad rooster self. [​IMG] When I picked him up, grabbed the gloves and hung on til I let him go. I took the gloves off and set them on the pen.

    A few minutes later he jumped up grabbed the gloves off the pen and took off running in a small circle. Then he laid them on the ground, pecked at them pretty aggressively, grabbed one and then started mating with it!!! [​IMG] He was doing the nasty with my gloves!!! [​IMG]

    After he finished, he just gazed at the gloves, pecked them a bit and went on his merry way.

    Do chickens, ahem, engage in self-pleasure or is he just a frustrated teenager with no access to a girlfriend? It was very bizarre to say the least.

    I wonder if it was a display of dominance. Other animals display dominance through sexual aggression, so maybe he was just setting those gloves straight after they "attacked" him. [​IMG]

    Although, if this is the case, in his mind he has dominated your hands/gloves. So even though you were trying to put a biting rooster into his place, he more than likely thinks he won in the end. [​IMG]

    It is pretty funny. And not a topic I expected to see so early in the morning.. Hadn't even had my coffee yet. [​IMG]

    A good laugh but, unfortunately, I agree that he probably won. You are going to have to take measures to show him you are the boss. If you don't he may attack you any/everytime you go out there.
