Hi all, i have three chooks.
Hand raised and hatched in an incubator by me. Handled daily and approximately 6 months old.
Two have lovely natures.
A white araucana that is gentle and docile,
Barred Rock Rooster that is passive around the family and
Both of them enjoy petting and treats.
Then there's the third one, a barred rock. Right from day one it's behaved very skittish and picking on the others, even winding up the rooster until he reacts.
It freaks out at any movement and starts running around squawking and almost hurting itself whenever someone goes near the coop.
Apart from offering treats, Any other ideas how to sort out the behavior?
I don't want it hurting itself or the others but it's like it has mental issues the way it carries on.
