Is It Normal? (5 Month Old Rooster)

[Saaniya]

Not long after waking up I went out to count up the chickens as last night I heard one make a strange noise.
They're all accounted for but while I crouch down to pick up a stray egg off the ground, Mr Frizz flew up onto my shoulder.
He's normally scared of me and wants nothing to do with me. I thought he was trying to crap on me to show how much he doesn't like me

Is that normal for roosters to do that?
Will he continue to do that when I get low to the ground?

It's now 9:32AM here so it's been an hour since I woke up.

Hahaha yes it's normal for teenager guy
My rooster did the same when they are learning to crow soon as they realize they are big guys they adapt more maturity ..but some always stay naughty lol

Mr Frizz has only crowed once and that was when he was 2 1/2 months old.

He is a good rooster. And no, because of our stupid neighbors we've always had to get rid of our wonderful cockerels as soon as a crow was heard. Luckily Mr Frizz has only crowed once and probably won't ever.

He is not yet a rooster. He is a cockerel (a rooster under 1 year of age). You will likely not know if he is a “good” one until after the hormone surge (which is just beginning) levels off.

Mr Frizz got weirder.
Earlier my dad & I were working on the chicken yard and Mr Frizz hung out around my dad. He's never done that.

He’s scoping you all out, trying to figure out how much you’ll tolerate him in your space.

Hormones are kicking in! My neighbors roo tried mounting me and then chased my brother away. He knew I was a female and my brother was in his way!

I won't.
He probably won't crow ever again as he should've been crowing more by now.

He’s not really hanging around Dad.
He’s sizing him up and may eventually try to rush him or flog him.
Don’t tolerate any behavior such as side stepping towards you, wing dropping, I don’t even tolerate when my cockerel comes close and pretends to peck at the ground while looking up at me.
Or if he tries to crowd me and invade my space.
I will stamp my foot and move towards him to make him move away from me so he understands that I know what he’s up to.

He has never done any of that towards us. I've managed to hold him a few times as I've had to clean him up from the mud he got stuck on himself since there's no rain for a while to wash it off. He once fell asleep next to me while I was sitting in the chicken yard to watch some chicks that were out with the older hens.

I know he hasn’t done those things...yet.
I’m not saying for sure he will but I’ve raised 6 cockerels now and I’m becoming more familiar with their ways.
The thing is, as others have said, he’s just getting hormonal now.
It’s extremely hard to predict how aggressive any particular cockerel may get.
You may be very lucky and not see much aggression at all from him.
But those types of cockerels are the exception rather than the rule.
I’m just trying to let you know what behaviors to look out for.
When I was first dealing with my boys getting their hormones I read everything I could find here on BYC about roosters and asked lots of questions.
I realized that I was letting my boys dominate me without realizing it.
Letting them sit on me and crowd me and things like that.
The one I ended up keeping was actually somewhat afraid of me and usually respectful but I still, at times, had to make him understand I wasn’t to be trifled with lol.

He's been hormonal since he was 3 1/2 months old. He doesn't leave his favorite pullet alone(She's the same age). He's always trying to mount her everyday and sometimes is able to but she always tries to knock him off.
I've chased him around the yard a lot, is that wrong? I think that's why he was always leaving me alone before because I scared him away.
