Aggressive 4 week old Buff Orp Cockerel

I don't think it's too abnormal.....tho very well could be shades of what's to come.
Most cockerel chicks are more assertive.
Do they all have lots of space?

We are moving them out of the brooder to the coop. Cause I wondered the same thing, It's getting a bit tight for them in there. So outside they go today. I started pecking him first when he runs at me as soon as I put my hand in to get the food tray.....he decided he doesn't wanna take on that fight anymore lol

Everyone has their own set of priorities...But someone once told me that the jerkface rooster is usually the first to sacrifice himself for the good of the flock when old Mr. Coon or Weasel or stray dog come to visit...

Maybe and maybe not but myself and my family are out in the yard a lot more often then old Mr. Coon or Weasel or stray dog so is it worth it to have to watch our backs all the time for the occasion of a predator showing up? Then the rooster is a one and done.
You're right its about priorities and a jerk cockerel/rooster doesn't even make my priority list.
But to each their own.
