    will my rooster become aggressive?

    Yah now that you guys have pointed out his rooster activities I make sure he knows not to try anything. I saw he flap his wings and stand his ground so I walked through him so he ran away. I thought he was flapping his wings because he is nervous.

    will my rooster become aggressive?

    Haha yah I just haven't bought the hens yet; so I have been spoilying him. I guess I'll continue what I'm doing and if starts to think he's dominant I'll grab him and show him I'm the alpha rooster.

    will my rooster become aggressive?

    Is every rooster different? Will it just become an aggressive rooster with time. Right now I had him eating out of my hand and he still fears me. I was trying to pet him. He has been crowing and recently getting bigger. He hasn't shown any aggressive behaviors that I know of. I know ultimately...

    Well they can go where ever they want in the backyard the plan was for them to only nest in it the boxes have tops on them but I plan on cutting the tops off them so I could reach the eggs. The windows do sound like a good idea for summer.

    Kind of a bad picture so we bought nest boxes on the inside I'd say its roughly 4x4 maybe more maybe less maybe more the top has an opening to get the eggs out hopefully that will suffice for the ammonia. Is a window necessary; I could cut one.

    Yah he has beautiful color.We just noticed him start to crow and thought it was strange. As he matures I hope he doesn't get more aggressive.O well the adventure continues. We built this coop do you think it will have ample space.

    I only picked silkies for there appearance but if red hens will work than that's awesome. I don't think the chicken should have to pay for my ignorance. But I'm going to get him so red hens for friends then. Thanks you helped a lot.

    I saw these red hens at the local feed store would they be large enough. I don't want to get rid of him but I do want some chickens for the eggs. This is a little disappointing. Hmm should he stay or should he go.

    Haha thanks for the info. do you think it will get along well with silkies or should I find him a new home I'm pretty new to this but I built a coop and plan on getting 3 to 4 hopefully hens this time. Or is there breed that would be better that I should look into?
