I have a buff orpington roo that I raised from a chick last spring. We were going to eat him last year until our flock was killed and he was the sole survivor. Yesterday he ran at me as I was unloading groceries in the garage. I turned just in time and then chased him from the garage. Today I was walking in the garage again and he ran at me and bit my leg! It didnt hurt too bad, but I managed to kick him away and then made a point to be 'bigger' then him.

What should I do? I dont really like him...but he does protect all of our hens. I am affraid this will get worse. He used to attack our duck, but now we keep Bob with us at all times to protect him.
