Good morning, thank you.Good morning, welcome to BYC!
How old is he? I usually house young cockrels separately for a while. They are always little monsters until they get their hormones under control. He is probably a little stressed from the move also.
Good luck!
Thank youHi, welcome to BYC! good luck with your new rooster.
Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
A young cockerel is usually a hormonally crazed idiot. I'd lock him into a large wire dog crate in a fully shaded area of the run with food and water in the crate. I'd leave him in there for at least 2 weeks. Drop a treat in there for him and see if he just eats it or if he tidbits the girls over to him. Make him work for it!
thank you, I will try that method, hahahaWelcome from New Orleans. Keep your hens safe, I would use the see no touch method. It sometimes takes a few weeks for a cockerel to realize that although he is the head of the flock, he must act respectful to his hens. They are like teenage boys, too full of testosterone. It will pass.
