hello.
I’m new to chickens. My flock is almost 7 months old.
I’ve had my rooster since he was a baby. He was always loved on and picked up. When he was turned over into the large coop he no longer wanted to be held.
These are his behivaor traits and i am Trying to figure out if he being aggressive or just doing his job as a rooster. And soMe of things he does aren’t towards me, but he makes me nervous and I don’t trust him.
He also the only rooster
- when I open the coop he tries to be the first one out the door. If the hens are out before him he will literally chase them back inside.
In the middle of the day ( this is sometimes not every day) when I approach the coop he won’t let the girls near the door. He will chase them off or pace the door. So I have to walk past him first
When Inside the coop he has paced in front of me with his head down. Sometimes he will peck at the ground so I dont know if he’s acting like he’s ingoring me and really watching me. Or just pecking the ground. Lol
If one of the hens squawks He will come running towards me thinking it was not me who’s hurting them
And lastly. He will never. Take his eyes off me when I’m In the coop
Ok. So is he aggressive or just being himself ?
