Nope, that's not an option. We don't eat our chickens and I won't rehome him just for doing something he instinctively does. I promised the chickens they have a home here until they go to chicken heaven.
What is the name of the byc member who posted the article? I'd love to read her suggestions albeit they are humane. LOL
That kind of narrows one's options down considerably. So you want a solution that doesn't involve death or rehoming? I would venture to say that you also do not wish to give an old-fashioned correction....a stick or lofting kick.
Your only option then is to try Rooster Red's techniques, be prepared to be terrorized by an animal if they do not work, and try to patch up your family when they get injured. After all.....a promise is a promise!
For those of us who do not make promises to chickens, we are the alpha roo and don't have to worry about turning our backs in our own yards. If this cannot be learned by the roo, he is eliminated from our flock's gene pool. Stupidity and over aggressive behavior is not a good trait to pass on.....in animals or humans.
That is what we do when a roo attacks.
