Cockerel feather pulling

[PNW_Peepers]

he sounds like a very healthy bird... strange. is there anything in there for him to play with? he sounds really bored.

I have a couple suet feeders that I fill with grass daily, I have three outdoor roosts, and a dust bath. I’m wondering what else I could add to the run to keep their interest?

It’s scratch and peck brand (local brand near me) starter feed.

Agree with chickens really. My young cockrel does the same. I think he's trying to get the ladies attention but doesn't know how. Like a 12 year old boy pulling the girls pigtails and snapping their bras. (Yes, boys used to do that. Now they'd be labeled molesters.) My ladies refuse him. Maybe when matures he learns some manners he'll get lucky.
