I'm a bit concerned about my 10 month old Roo and our NEW BABIES!!! (excitement and concern under the same breath!!!)
He hasn't shown any aggression with the chicks though is one of the youngest we have of our flock so he doesn't have any experience with chicks. He's curious to see and listen.
I have the 5 Chicks in a porta-crib in my off-building/office in my back yard. My chickens come in as they please, jump on my desk while I'm working to make a mess of it all. He came in this evening, jumped onto the side of the porta crib and just looked. Didn't lean in. No noise. Just looked at the babies for a minute, maybe, turned and saw me and jumped down to get love from me. (If you read my concern about him a couple months ago, all has changed after following advise given on this page. He's a daddies boy now)
Back to it... Would you be concerned? I'm trying to watch everybody, including the hens but none seam too concerned. No pecking through the netting either.
