I have recently added a Giant Cochin Rooster to my flock...However, he acts like a hen and shows no signs of crowing or an interest in my hens who are 6 months old. He is very timid and the first day he hid in the corner with his head buried because the girls peck him on the head and have pulled small feathers out. Nothing too scary but still not something I want to continue. I was told he is 8 months old. His temperament is super sweet, but he seems to have low energy and moves like a sloth. Is this typical for the Cochin breed? The hens pick on him and have not accepted him into the flock. I am waiting for him to assert himself and be a Rooster. I'm worried that he is a she or he is simply not the confident rooster I had in mind when I decided to add to my little flock. Here he is...Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
