I have a 1 year old Easter egger rooster. He has been so good until 2 weeks ago, when out of the blue he attacked me.
I have hand raised him and the 5 girls. I hold them every day, feed them treats from my hand and give lots of feather scratches in the coop at bed time.
I hang with them all the time. Now he's aggressive all the time. He just attacked me again upon my entering the garden where I have them free range for the day.
I have tried the pinning him to the ground thing 5 times and holding him extra long to show I am not a threat. He eats from my hand, I can hold him and he will groom himself at my feet.
So what else do I do to stop these random attacks and agression?
