Easiest way to make him a nice cockerel is to cover him in bacon and roast with all the trimmings :tongue2:

It's not a nice thing to have to do but you did the right thing. I have had two bad cockerels and they can become really dangerous and take away the joy of your chooks. Be relieved  :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

I catch him with my landing net, pin him down like he would a hen for about 15 seconds eveyday for a week , he soon learns who is the boss. hes not happy about it and runs away when I come in now LOL

This can work for some but can make others worse  :)
