So the dramah continues...
My little Betty Boop, flock nutcase and punching bag since the day we got her, has been living a lie all this time... I just found out this morning I have another tranny roo in the coop!
SHE is a HE!
I would appreciate some help and input from the breed experts...
This is what Betty looked like when I got her on July 14th, any idea how old he was at that point?
This is Betty yesterday:
So far his behavior as flock victim hasn't changed, I haven't heard or seen him crow or even attempt to, most of the hens (who are all older) chase and/or peck on him and he's very flighty and nervy, a super wuss.
My question is: do you think he will change and become aggressive with his mates when he matures and grows older? Or would his personality stay more or less the same within the flock?
I worry because I already have two silkie roos (yep, more tranny surprises... sigh) and they are much smaller than Betty, I don't want to risk anyone getting hurt or shredded.
And I love them all, it would be horrible to have to rehome one or more of them!
Please help!
