Love My Chickies
Songster
I have a cockrel, Marshmallow, about 4 months old (hatched May 14). He is very sweet, runs to my lap, loves to be pet. Lately he has begun to bite my feet. He doesn't "attack" or run at me, like another cockrel started doing, just bites randomly. He's still very affectionate.
We have recently begun trying to integrate a new set of younger pullets and one cockrel. When they're out, Marshmallow and the biggies, as I call them, are locked in a separate run.
I'm wondering if he may be getting jealous, or does anyone have any suggestions why he may be doing this, or am I just reading too much into cockrel behavior?
