Definitely let him grow up yet. He may turn out to be the biggest sweetheart roo ever, and gentle on the ladies!

I have not had any luck raising a good rooster do you guys thing he will be a good guy. The one I had before was mean.

Cockerels that are raised up in a flock with mature hens tend to be better behaved than boys who grow up with only same age pullets.

Hello and welcome to BYC!! It’s so nice to have you join us.

Your rooster is a handsome fellow! His final disposition can depend on several things; the breed/breeds he consists of, how the generations prior were selected and how you handle him. It sounds promising that he's really laid back. But whether you handle him or not...he should always respect you and your space. The way you act around him can directly influence how he learns to treat you. You don't have to be abusive...but you should be the dominant flock member. From your actions and use of space, he should never even begin to size you up or look to challenge you. He's a clean slate at this point.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask one of us.

If he is in with mature hens they will teach him how to treat a lady. Is he as big as he looks? If so I wonder if he has some Brahma behind him.
