My little Buff Cochin Roo has started to act aggressive towards me, he is nipping my hands and arms when I let him.
The flock is only 13-14 weeks old, consisting of 4 birds, 2 of which are Roosters. The Cochin, and a Lavender silkie (he's a sweetheart) and the polar opposite of the buff Cochin.
I don't understand what made him turn out to be so mean, he was the very 1st chick to hatch out of my 1st homemade incubator.. which makes him special !
He's now exhibiting behaviors I can't understand.
Can someone PLEASE give me some insight as to why he's being this way, and possible solutions to make him non-aggressive.
I really hate to give him away, but if this behavior continues then I don't see the benefits of keeping him around.
~Thanks~
