I know this is late but I had a rooster kind of similar except my rooster never attacked people. during sunrise and sunset, when we opened and closed the coop, he became extra hormonal and was crazy for the hens. As soon as we opened the coop he would choose a hen and chase her around for 5 minutes and she would hide. This would go on for a little and after a while he would stop going crazy but go crazy again when the sun was setting. However, 15 weeks is young. Mines only started doing this at around 7 months.Hi! My cockerel is around 15 weeks old. And recently, normally during sunrise and sunset I think, he's been more aggressive to my boyfriend. (He also hops on the pullets [same age as him] periodically and pulls on their feathers. Is that normal behavior or excessively aggressive?)
I'm not usually around when it happens, so we haven't been sure if it's to any person or just to BF or what. But this evening, I went into the fenced-in area after he picked on one of the others, and he seemed okay till my boyfriend came up. The cockerel followed him as BF walked around the fence and looked like he was getting ready to jump BF or something. I kind of shooed him a bit just by walking up near him, and at one point, he looked back at my shoes and looked like he was considering attacking them. I took a step back, and he lost interest but seemed to go back at my boyfriend to follow him around the fence. So is it hormones causing this? Will this behavior get worse, or is it more or less normal, protective behavior? And why does it seem like he's more okay with me (for now) compared to BF? Testosterone thing?
Thanks!
