I have a 12 week old light Brahma who we call Monster. For obvious reasons. He’s a freaking monster. When we put him out in the run, separate coop, to be introduced to the flock two months ago he was as much a butt as he is now. But now he bites. Only he doesn’t attack me, run at me or kick, or anyone else. He bites if he hears his sister in distress or if it’s getting dark and he’s stressed.
I don’t let them, Monster and Roz, go into the big coop because the hens pick on them. So once I have everyone else in the big coop I let Monster and Roz out to run around in peace. Without being chased. He enjoys it. Until the sun has started to go down enough that it’s getting to be dusk.Then he starts making this noise over and over and looking to go into the big coop. So I pick him up and put him in his coop. That’s usually when I get bit. Is it because he’s stressed out? Should I put him to bed before the sun has set so much? Or is he just being aggressive? Either way I want to make sure I do something about it. So he can be handled properly.
this is the most recent picture I have of them. Monster is almost the same size as my hens and still gets chased by them.
