Baby chick displaying aggressive rooster behaviour.

[Ella_r_ab]

Hey y’all. One of my maybe 4 -5 week old chicks I hatched myself is displaying MAJOR aggressive rooster behaviour. I am pretty skilled with stopping my big ones from trying to be agggresive(if they even are) but this little guy just won’t stop. I’ve tried to use the normal rooster aggressive stopper trick thingy but he keeps trying to get me whenever I reach into his pen. (I’m calling him a boy because of the behaviours) he’s really important to my farm as he’s a pure American o of black and grey (whoop whoop) and has the prettiest eyes. If anyone knows anything of this HELP.

So you're saying this rooster is aggressive towards you (as in people?). Is it all the time or what? I'd look for some kind of pattern. I have chickens that peck me but it's because I usually just come around to feed those particular chickens (they're my meat birds) so they associate me with food only--no touchy. I'll have the last laugh so they can peck away

Pretty odd that such a young bird is so aggressive.
Might be something wrong in his head.

Never heard of this breed.

Possibly Americana/Ameraucana/other spellings? I think that's what some places call their EEs.

Pictures, or video of the chick in question?

That’s right I honestly didn’t know how to spell

Of the chick itself? I tried taking videos but he always decides not to do it.
