Why is my rooster attacking me

[m1chelle1]

I know it might sound a bit mean but grab him and pinch the base of his neck skin near the back about two inches from wings, and pin his naughty behind down he will fight against the notion but do not give into him make sure before you let him up that his tail is lowered towards the ground if released prior then you will have to do it again. Sometimes assisiting in tail lowering is needed to put the point across, but do it to where the flock can see it. It is humiliating him in the grandest order. I've had to do it to roosters who were not to say human aggressive but hen aggressive, after a few pins they behaved and if that didn't work they sure tasted good.

Agreed with this one, can be effective too. Hope youre able to find something that works for you.

If you are really going to hatch his eggs, at least save the eggs for a week or ten days at room temperature, and have them all hatch at the same time.

My Orpington cockerel started to become aggressive to me as he grew older but once I showed him I wasn't afraid of him and held him or backed him into a corner every time he showed dominance for a while, he began to learn he wasn't the boss. Now he's very good around me and will only attack if I'm not wearing my chicken boots.

did you do anything differently? Or did he just stop attacking? Good news tho! I'm glad things have calmed down for you and your buddy.

This BO cockerel gets to pick your wardrobe? Really? Does he have favorite colors too?
How is he with everyone else?

I'm having the same problem. Hatched the rooster and he used to be one of the most affectionate pets I had now he attacks as soon as I come to the cage door. Worried he is teaching the other ones to do it too. Awful because I am attached to him and he is really beautiful.

One thing I should mention... He seems to be in love with a particular hen. They were raised together. Now I have the hens and roosters seperated so that could be part of the issue but I have to say he was getting aggressive before. He literally gets on top of anything he can find and acts like top boss. Funny because he is a bantam and could definitely be beaten by some of the other big roosters in a fight.

Why is one of my barred rock rooster attacking me I would be out running in yard playing and he would come up and fly at me should I get rid of him?
