I caged my monster, his cage is on a shelf that used to be a roost. I feed and water him there and let him out when I want fertile eggs from him. Maybe you could do the same? I also use pyramid pens on the floor for breeding pens. I put the pen by the water so the chickens can reach the water dishes and feed dish. There is no water or feed in their pen for them to turn over.

Mine just started this too. Bums me out b/c he is really nice for color and size. Mine actually waits till my back is turned and takes a cheap shot. I've been grabbing the water hose and shoot him with that to get him away so I can do chores. I'm thinking of putting him in his own pen till I want fertile eggs, but don't know if that is prudent or not. Good luck with yours!
