I have a question. My young rooster comes running when he sees me and lets me pet him. A friend of mine who has raised many chickens over the years cautioned me against that. He said that if I'm too friendly to him he will turn on me wanting to show his dominance. My older rooster is a good rooster to the hens but is not at all friendly towards me. He has wanted to come after me so I always carry a big stick when I'm around him. I'm trying to tame my younger rooster to be sweet so I won't have to worry about him like the older one. I'd like to replace the mean one eventually with his son who is nicer. Is that a bad idea to try to tame him? Another friend's son has a pet banty rooster and her son and his wife have great affection for him and hold him a lot. He's very sweet. This first friend acted like it's just a matter of time until the banty will turn mean to them if they continue making a pet of him. What do you think?
