This young rooster is new to us and was aggressive in last flock they thought due to overcrowding/few hens etc.
He spent the first few days here in our wooded area bc he escaped. He attacked my sweet hen I put in with him (large area, plenty of food and water).
I thought he was going to be a wild rooster living in the woods. Some suggested on here not to breed him bc his personality can be passed on to offspring.
Yesterday he was real friendly to people he met in yard. Last night he flew up to my arm and let me pet him.
He is super friendly now, like trying to come inside even.
Back story is the young girl who raised them would sit in their run and talk/interact.
My question about his aggressive behavior to hens is, can it change? I’m so shocked by how gentle he is with us.
I’ve read they are a 1 rooster to flock which is why I tried initially him to my sweet hen. Maybe too early? I can’t believe he’s sweet to humans and a total jerk to the hens.
