I can imagine it's hard. We raised out hens from chicks as well and so although this rooster doesn't hit too close to the heart to think of him hurting our hens is so sad.
Thank you for providing your experience!
Yeah that's what we're thinking too. He's just too mean now and we're hoping to get one that won't bother us as long as we don't bother it. Thank you for the advice!

...I raise chickens and see them through the hatching process and we made a few mistakes along the way so I have a few questions I would like to ask:
*Note: We are not using an incubator, one of our broody hens is doing the hatching process but we would like to help if necessary
1. How long...
I second this! I got three chicks this summer and they have learned and grown together. It's my first time owning chickens and I was pretty surprised at how naturally they kinda just knew how to do things!
Omg, are you a dancer?
