The problems is my setup it does seem to be something between me and him not an anithuman thing. Here living in the suburbs I move all of my male birds from there pens at night to special sleeping houses where the spend the late night and early morning. He is usually very unhappy! But I just can't have my neighbors being woken at 3 and 4 am. I will watch how he interacts with others over the next few days. The problem is I do really need him he is from Leisha's blacks and I want to take him over my splash pullets next spring. I think that its a good idea to move him to my chicken tractor until I need to breed him again. We will see the problem is he will be spending the fall and winter and also early spring with my parents caring for him so we will see. I am going to cool down for a while and then decide on a plan of action. Another problem is I let my birds free range and the hens are super friendly and food motivated so of course he follows his girlsfriends and then ends up standing right in front of me and attacks. I will give him a week and see what happens he is valuable to me as he is from different parentage then my blues and splashes.

Something has made him unhappy. What has changed in the last few days? it could be the littliest thing. Is this the first he has done this? Give the poor guy a break. LOL
Ha ha we will both get a while to cool our jets. He has never been my biggest fan though. Uh the last few days nothing has changed. I was wearing big tan boots for the first time outside this morning ha ha I thought that was it and now he is just ticked off that I grabbed him or shoved him away with my foot when he came at me. Hopefully we work it out. I like him he is really handsome and protects the girls from everything I guess now that includes me even though they like me and I like them ha ha. Don't worry I was a little heated when I wrote that before. I will give him till I leave for vacation because then a 14 year old girl is going to be taking care of him.
