Eating out of hands is a good way for him to gain trust.

When I pick him up he’s calm

How old is he?

If he's human aggressive, it's inheritable from father to son, daughter, or mother to son, & so on. So, I'd keep an eye on his offspring when they get older.


They're feisty, so if he gets too aggressive towards your other cocks, you may have to pen, or tether him.

He’s almost a year old I’d say like 10 or 11 mos

Wrong color and body conformation for a Sussex.

Wrong body yes, but I thought it would be unusual for feed stores to have game mixes. Unless someone brought him in to get rid of, also don't most games have pea, cushion or rose combs?

No, most American Game breeds are single combed. Some may have pea, or rose, but that depends on strain.

Okay, he's still pretty young then. Hormones will straighten out once they hit a year, or two.

That's good.
