It’s been almost a week since I realized that my hen is a rooster, which I never wanted. He has pecked me a time or two very hard and he’s kept the newcomer chicks (one of which I now think may have been missexed and is an Ameraucana rooster instead of a hen) from eating. And he pulls the feathers of the newest hen. But now that I’ve grown to accept him, I think I will keep him. He’s a juvenile and I hope he will grow to become one of these great roosters lve been reading so much about. So to answer your question, I guess his level of aggression is acceptable. He hadn’t pecked me since I poked him back. And he’s been easing up on the newcomers.I know that, I was just trying to think of a way he could not be culled for being overprotective.
(talking to OP here) @ThatTeowonna, how exactly is he 'aggressive'?
