Can having a young rooster in a young flock cause problems

[Danny188]

It really depends on the cockerel whether he'll be intimidated by the girls. Some are more willing to accept a place at the bottom of the pecking order than others are. If he starts giving you trouble with the hens, physical separation's about the best thing you can do, so that he doesn't pick up bad habits.

As for yourself? You're not part of the pecking order. If you walk towards him, don't look at him, just look past him (you're not challenging him; he's beneath your notice) and he should step out of your way. You should get it into his little chicken-head that you aren't a flockmate. Challenging you will not raise his status in the flock. You're also not a danger to the flock. Don't chase the girls.

Thanks for the help!
