Just went to let the chickens out and as I was coming back up the garden with them (they free range at this time of year) the young Araucana cockerel went for me several times. In the end I had to climb over the fence into our neighbours' garden to get away from him!
He's fairly young - 5 months or so and I've had several cockerels in the past who've never come close to going for anybody. We wanted to keep him to breed from him, but obviously don't want the kids to be attacked and nor do I want to be a prisoner in my home!!
Any suggestions?
