Certain cockerel behavior?

[KikiDeAnime]

I'm wondering if there's certain behavior that only young cockerels show.

Like any type of behavior that only they have before the crowing or combs come in.


Do cockerels sometimes show bossy behavior?

Cockerels can be super bossy and even downright mean. But some pullets can behave just as rough, so that isn't solely a male trait

I don't think so Usually just the comb being large and visible early on.

Do you think you have one such little guy?

In my experience they’re usually a little more bossy, but sometimes hens can be like this too. Cockerels will fight with others, or “play fight”

Would a cockerel "play fight" with a pullet?

Cockerels and pullets play fight.Ive had some pullets become worse then cockerel.There are no specific behaviors that they display that a pullet might not.Ive usually notice cockerels will be much more aggressive early on,but I’ve had a few pullets be a problem too.Have even had to chicks (Pullet and cockerel)at the age of about 5 weeks fight so bad and cause injury, and the pullet had a huge comb and wattles.

All genders will 'play fight'...post a pic of the bird(s) in question along with age.

Yes, my 9 week olds are doing it right now. The Pullets engage a little but usually run off. Typically it’s the cockerel that instigates it

When they are young my cockerels are the most outgoing and friendly.

This one likes to pick fights with everyone. It pecked the other 2 pullets' tail feathers so now it's the only one with a tail.
They're all 12 weeks old
