I have one barred rock roo who just came into his own recently. I had heard from friends that they can be real mean when they want to be.I was out checking on my hens today while filling water and the feeder. While I was in the middle of doing the chores the girls (3 RIR) where checking out what was going on . When all of a sudden my roo charged into the coop that is head level for me and he puffed up and was in full on combat mode!! I have never been challenged by a roo in this manner . Now is there a way to break this bird of bad behavior? Spend more time with him ? I'm just concerned for my kids who are toddlers and are at about the same height as this bird. I wouldn't leave my kids alone outside but you never know is my point.
maybe a dumb question but I like my chickens and would hate to send one off over a bad attitude.
