Is there anything wrong with this sentence? It's about my rooster, and I want it to say "When he tried to attack me, I sat on him, then he was good for a week or so, and I had to do it again."
Cuando intentaba atacarme, sentaba le sobre, entonces, era bueno por un semana mas o menos, y tenía que hacerlo otra vez.
If any Spanish speaking people could help me out, thanks.

haha, no I didn't use an online translator, I'm just really bad at the language. I have trouble finding the right words. And my grammar is still really bad. Anyway, I think that I actually had the right tense, because I wasn't talking about a specific time that I did, I was talking about how it used to happen all the time. A better way to write it in English would be:
"He would try to attack me, and I would sit on him" etc., but yeah...

Yes this sentence does not make sense in Spanish, did you use an online translator....
Anyway, here's the translation:
Cuando mi gallo trató de atacarme me senté sobre él, entónces se portó bien durante una semana más o menos, luego tuve que hacerlo otra vez.

OK, if you are not referring to a particular time, but you are speaking in general, you would say:
Cuando intentaba atacarme, ME sentaba sobre él (o "me le sentaba encima"), entonces se portaba bien por una semana más o menos, (pero luego) tenÃa que hacerlo otra vez.

I think your tenses are a little off. You seem to be confusing the preterite with the pluscuamperfecto.
Cuando intentó atacarme, me senté en él, pues, era bueno durante como una semana, y tuve que hacerselo otra vez.
