I did think it was possibly that but they pretty much ignore each other.
When this one picks on the hen the other rooster does cluck but then this one usually turns on the rooster.
Unfortunately the behaviors getting worse so it might be time to say goodbye.
I'm leaning towards the issues...
Chook seems to react to hand movements either side and i can't see any difference either side.
Chook does settle down when held but being a crafty barred rock, always looking for a way out.
Hi all, i have three chooks.
Hand raised and hatched in an incubator by me. Handled daily and approximately 6 months old.
Two have lovely natures.
A white araucana that is gentle and docile,
Barred Rock Rooster that is passive around the family and
Both of them enjoy petting and treats...
