Aww Iām sorry you got a Roo. Heās beautiful though. Silkie Roos are sweeter in my opinion, but they are still Roos.
When you raise family chickens, a good idea is to teach your kids how to hold a chicken properly! I know you didnāt mean to hold him wrong, but he does not appear to happy about his situation. I hold my birds close to my chest, I pick them up so that their heads are in the right side of my body. I put my thumbs over their wings, for fingers around their chest, ring finger points down, and my pinky fingers wrap around their legs. When I pick them up off the ground I pull them toward my chest and let my right arm go and wrap it around and under the chicken to support it, and feel safe. When you put the chicken down, crouch down and let them support their own weight on your leg, then you let your right arm go, and then your left hand and let the chicken jump down from your leg. This works a lot better than just placing them on the ground, since the will not struggle, and will learn to trust being ne you better
this may be hard to understand, Iāll get a picture for you so you can pick through correct ways of holding a bird
