i know just what ya mean i got a showgirl roo just like that now. i have a friend she has a polish and a bantam turken like that. ya have to not back down to them or they will continue to due it. ya have to make them think you are top rooster. he does it to her cause she is smaller he thinks he can get away with it. you have to charge him when he goes after one of you make him run from you(when he takes a step to you, you step to him and mean it or stomp at him to make a noise on the ground) and don't turn ur back on him. he does it and keeps comeing after you corner him and catch him carry him around for awhile upside down under your arm while ya feed the others ect. a roo won't try to fight once upside down he'll surender. just carry him around for awhile for like 10-15 min but keep ahold of his feet so he can't kick you. i talk to mine tell him he's bad he can't be doing that but hehe that's just me and then i let him go again after he calms down and i have petted him a bit. i make sure i'm out of the line of fire though. usually he's good for a few days again. if it doesn't work on a roo after a few weeks and he is not brooken of it i do not keep him i have 5 kid's it's to dangerous to have him around so i rehome them. i don't have it in me to cull them i get way to attached but i do farewarn the potential new homes ahead of time so they know.

it is funny but i have to watch some of mine have spurs like 3" long so i worry and they do got claws too ta boot. that's why i like raiseing them from eggs i have never had one of our hatchlings grow up spunky like that only ones we have gotten older from others.

here is 2 pics of my girls from last year i showed. both took first in their shows. i lost the frizzle due to a coon and the crevecour to cold. i miss my girls.
