Is he going to hurt himself?

[Chickies321]

Hi everyone,

My little roo decided sometimes he doesn't want me around. He started with pecking and now he's doing little flaps and ninja kicks. He used to back down when I step up to him but he puts up a little fight now. He eventually submits and then everything is fine, we hang out like nothing happened.

Is he going to stop before he hurts himself? I've tried carrying him, pinning him. He is only 5 months old and I don't want him to teach my other roo to do the same!

Thank you.

I am not sure, but he is gorgeous

This little guy is so handsome that he looks fake!

I doubt he'll teach your other roo bad habits. This behavior is based on puberty, dominance and individual personality.

He may calm down with age. He may not... if you're patient and don't have little kids that may get hurt, you could try waiting it out.

Not likely to stop and if anything he's likely to get worse, I would cull him before he hurts someone
