Bad boy rooster!

So...what are yall's thoughts on roosters who attack. I have raised roosters for years, currently have the hens split into 3 flocks with a rooster over each flock. In what I would call our main flock is my favorite rooster, Pepper. He was one that we saw hatched by a favorite hen and he has been mild mannered for a few years now. And is beautiful. My kids are in and out of that coop a lot. Well today he sneak attack spurred the poo out of me yall. Like both of my legs gushed blood, it cut me deep. He has jumped on me one other time and scratched me a bit, and I ran him down and made him submit. I have always felt like a rooster should be given some grace since they are protecting a flock and especially if it is spring. So I dunno...what do yall do? Give chances? Make stew? We do eat roosters all the time but I am just seeing what others have as their rules. I have learned a lot on here by asking. Thanks guys!

If he is drawing blood, he is stewpot material.

I'm all for giving grace, but without improvement a decision needs to be made is my way of thinking.

Good point!

I typically have a '3 strikes and they're out' policy, but on a case by case basis. There are also times when there are no 2nd chances.

I would be concerned for your children so would not give the rooster another chance.
