My boy is a silkie, 10 months old. Raised him since he was 2 days old. We got him from my spouse's Dad and his silkies are all docile.
Over the last month, he's started getting aggressive with me in particular, doesn't go at my spouse. It started with an occassional peck to my boots and now I can't go in the run without him immedietly running at me all puffed up, pecking me and jumping at my legs.. I've tried pinning him down and picking him up. Picking him up seemed to work at first but doesn't help more than temporarily now.
He's good to his girls but I'm their primary caretaker and don't want to feel uncomfortable going into the coop. I don't necessarily need a rooster either, there's just an emotional attachment to him.
Is this a spring time thing or likely his adult personality coming in? Anything else I can try before the inevitable?
