I currently have a 2 week old standard bronze poult. He is the CUTEST thing but I noticed when I opened the door to his sun room he STRUTTED into my house. He usually runs right inside and up into my hands but he had to put on a little show first I guess I've heard/seen that this could be a dominance thing and not really anything to do with gender as females strut too, but I'm still worried he may be male. Now the question is, when he's older, will he hurt my hens? I have 7 barred rock hens and they don't have a rooster anymore, and I've heard horror stories about Tom's mounting and hurting/killing hens I plan on getting him a friend (obviously) because he is completely alone right now and spends 90% of the day in my pocket, so he will have a hen to grow up with one way or another. But even with a lady friend, will he go after them?
