Thank you... Semantics can be a good thing! It can help distinguish between misinterpretations of behaviour. I hope & think you may be right. I won't be mean under any circumstances but will teach myself to be more assertive. As soon as I turn my back, he is also sneaking up behind me & he seems...

Thank you so much for this article. I have already gone out to the coop & started applying it. I now definitely believe he is challenging me. Several times since I asked for everyone's advice today, he has perched, flapped his wings & crowed the second he saw me... plus every single time I turn...

Thank you for sharing your experience. I will have to dig down & find the dominance in me. I won't tolerate attacking if this is his intention.... which it seems now it is. Thanks for giving me hope! I'll put my big girl panties on now & go & face him! LOL

So I have hope?? I just told another member that I just went out to the coop again (a few minutes ago) & he immediately flew on a perch flapping his wings & crowing the second he saw me coming. I hope he has even a hope of turning out nice.... :/

Should I pick him up & carry him around like some people say? I just went out there again & he immediately flew up on a perch, did some wing flaps & crows... no hesitation! I am now concerned & he isn't that old yet...

I have always enjoyed seeing other roosters & I am one that actually really loves to hear the crow. I love to watch interactions of any animal or bird & thought the same with having a rooster with hens. Could my situation have a chance of fizzling out or is he most likely going to get worse? I...

Thank you. I appreciate any help. I am not an aggressive rooster type of gal (no aggression in me..lol) & enjoy interacting with my chickens every day. I am also fairly inexperienced but have had one nice rooster before. I guess my gut was right & he's challenging me.... oh nooooooo :( I just...

Oh myyy. I never expected this from a Faverolles & why I chose him. I am a gentle person & am not sure how to deal with this. He was starting to make me a little nervous because I wasn't sure. He is quite a confident fella it seems...

Thank you for the link! I'll check it out. I was certainly not expecting an aggressive rooster after researching this breed & lovingly hand raising him. I sure hope this doesn't escalate. Can this be just temporary sometimes? The hens are all sweethearts...

So, does the circling & touching/rubbing the side of his body on my leg while he's doing that possibly mean he's becoming aggressive rather than flirting with me? I don't want to be mean with him if I can help it. I want to deal with it in the manner in which he is telling me ...& he can crow...

I am relatively new at this chicken things.... still learning. This is my 2nd ever rooster & he is now 18 weeks old. I picked a Salmon Faverolles because I read they are usually very docile. I spend a lot of time with my chickens & enjoy the more docile natures over egg production. About 2...
