Every time that roo gets out of line, pick him up and carry him around by his feet for a bit. You have to assert dominance over him or he will always try to "put you in your place".

My 8 year old has really let the rooster have it with a broom, yet he takes it as a challenge and really goes after her now. I'll try tying his legs together when the kids are out. Hopefully that will get his attention. I do think there's something about a rooster laying claim to being the top roo that makes them more aggressive.
