Behaviors of a rescued rooster

[featherhead007]

Maybe I know roosters so well, is because I am one? I use a human costume to hide my true identity:

Guess I will have to make him a true diaper, then!

I've seen them on Etsy and Amazon so you could look how they make theirs and just try copy it somewhat.

If all else fails, maybe you have a few facemasks around?

I'm kind of confused because I knew house chickens existed, but I always wanted to keep mine outside because "that's their nature". But this one just refuses to give me space he even pecks at me when I'm not paying attention to him!

That look in his eyes, that looks like adoration to me

Looks like abomination to me!

This might not work out and it might not be something you'd even want to try, but I wonder if it would be worth seeing if he could live with another rooster. The rescue people you got him from might have some thoughts or advice?

Oh, I hadn't thought about this!

I had two roosters in the past and they mostly got along, but I raised them both as chicks, together. And there was some blood once in a while, because the non-dominant roo challenged the other, and well, he reminded him who was in charge...

They never fought to death or injured each other seriously, but it is risky, even if there are no hens, am I right?

The rescue people certainly have other roosters to give. It'd have to be another non-aggressive roo, but I don't even know if my boy (who is a sweetheart with me) could be violent with another roo. He's a game roo, after all...

It might be worth it to try, if the rescue would be willing to work with you on finding a suitable companion

With proper indroductions it might work. It might not, but it's something to consider, at least!

There are no guarantees with animals but some people find it easier to keep multiple males together in "bachelor flocks" as there are no hens for them to fight over, or overbreed.

If the rescue people you got your current boy from have experience of keeping cocks together this way then they might be able to offer some advice.

Give him a mirror- one he cannot break, but can look into when you’re not around.
