Help! Rescue Rooster flying away!

[Birds of a Feather]

He's really pretty!

Totally agree with everyone, he has to re-learn where home is and it might take a while especially if you don't have any hens to interest him.

If you do not have hens penned with him and neighbors have free range hens no matter what you do he is going to be at the neighbors where the hens are.
He will never stay home unpenned unless home has more to offer then elsewhere.
Why did the chicken cross the road?

Get that boy some booty! Big or small he won't care. That will keep him home better than clipping his wings ever could.

you do not have any hens? or he does not have access to them?

I have a bunch of hens, unfortunately no bantams that are as tiny as he is. He is about the size of a cockatiel. Could that be something?

Thank you!!

I would give him a hen so he will calm down a bit........ he was probably going to the neighbor's side to get it on with their hens.

This is a good idea, I just took in a 7 week old hen from a friend who is convinced it is a rooster, she'd be able to keep him company. I wasn't sure if throwing them in a pen together would be smart.

I have the same breed of rooster (cute, eh? ) and I keep him in a chicken tractor with a few bantam hens.

I agree with the other posts. Just a suggestion, I would keep him penned up for awhile too. Get him used to some treats. They all love treats especially meal worms. Give a few now and then in his area. Every evening I give my birds treats and if they are out they will go back into their pens for some treats. The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach and the same applies to most animals.

The best way is a little lower then his stomach and that's true with roosters too.
Put him with your big hens. He isn't too small to be with standard size hens.
I would not put him with a 7 week old pullet. She isn't as mature as him and it won't be pretty for her.
