New chicken owner here. Just got my first chickens a week ago - 1 rooster, 8 hens. I was just wondering how old the rooster will have to be before he...well.....starts acting like a rooster. He was one of maybe 15 roosters in a pen full of hens when I got him and I expected him to be like a kid in a candy store when I got him separated with his own girls. He pretty much just acts about like another hen. I was told that he and the girls were "about 6 months old" when I bought them, but I can't be sure about that. He has bad taste in fashion and is a terrible dancer, so I don't think THAT'S the problem.
Any thoughts?
