No, I never had a problem with the attack rooster. In fact I was the one 
that trained/encouraged him to fight from an early age. My SIL wanted to 
get rid of him so I took him home and he became part of the flock. It 
kept life interesting out in the yard. I would crow at him and get him 
worked up and crowing back at me, then let him attack. Always wearing 
big boots and coveralls , I was ok.
