Chicken bullying

[Angileen]

Now that I look at him he does had saddle feathers, but he doesn't crow! How old do you suspect he is? I'm a little intimidated by having a rooster....

One of my Roosters started crowing at 3 months the others between 4 and 5 months.

This is the bird getting picked on. I am very confused now. Someone said about a year old cockerel? But it doesn't crow, doesn't have spurs, doesn't appear to want to mount anybody, hides.....

Looks like he's young.

Depends if your area allows it and if you want a crowing rooster in the morning. Keeping him is rewarding, with raising your own chicks. Either way, you still have eggs.

I don't mind the crowing, if it's just one roo I finsh in

Oh lordt. I wonder how young. He isn't too cocky yet, very laid back so far but I've heard they can just flip one day.

I have 4 Roosters living together in a flock with 29 hens. They are all good boys. If he ever gets aggressive with you don't back down, pick him up and carry him around or chase him for a little bit. I did this with one of my Roos who got a little aggressive with me, it happened 2 times and he's been a good boy ever since.

I've decided to let our boy stay. We had another bird (hen) to take but exchanged for the last minute for him, so i think it's fate that he came home with us.
