HELP! "Chester" my 5-6 mnth old Rhode Island Red rooster has become aggressive. He used to be so nice and tame. He was held, hand-fed, and we gave him a lot of attention since he was little. He is a bully to our other 2 roosters and 4 dogs. We live on an acre of land with the front and back yard fenced separately. The chickens usually stay in the back yard. Lately Chester is hanging out at the back door ready to attack us when we go outside to feed the chickens, etc. When I take my dogs (2 chihuahuas, a terrier mix, and a husky) out the front door to use the bathroom...... Chester hears us and quickly comes to the front yard and tries to attack the smaller dogs. He's already knocked my 7 lb chihuahua down and pecked her. She is traumatized. Any suggestions? Advice?

Thanks,

Nance
