Fear for Bantam Frizzle

[kimramsey08]

Just picked up a huge rooster from a chicken farm. I'm not a specialist but the lady was. She KNEW I had one small frizzle bantam and feel like I was steered in wrong direction. . So I get home and this rooster is HUGE. I called her and kept asking, will this rooster hurt my chicken? She wouldn't tell me, just going off on a tangent with long chicken stories . So I seperated them. Now she won't take him back because she said she is a chicken farm and it's against regulations. I should get rid of the rooster right????
P.s. he is much bigger in persono

I'm trying to understand a few things so don't take this as me being mean, I am simply perplexed:


1. Why were you getting a rooster?

2. You could see the size of the rooster when you got him. Why did you take this rooster?

3. I'm not sure you realize how easy it is for new chickens to get flocks sick. You don't have to separate them for a month (though ideal) and it's not like I haven't done it myself, but I do meat chickens so that's a little bit different because the time line is so much shorter. Why is your new rooster in the crate with your bantam? From a biosecurity standpoint, bad. But also roosters can be very nasty and having had to deal with an almost torn out throat on a hen (my stupid mistake) this is also not a good idea until you get an idea of the rooster in question and the rooster isn't freaked out by the new location and new chicken(s.)


I am both curious and confused.
