I keep all chickens as pets including males.Few years got a rooster in batch of chicks and he turned out to be the under dog of the two other males.Of course,took him under my wing as always.He sat in my lap in the house,that’s the only time he crowed.Have never ever had an issue with him attacking us,always been a family man.He does fine around kids,and is on his third year.He typically gives all of his treats to his hens,accept for scratch.Scratch is like the ultimate treat and only thing I have ever seen him eat constantly,and even gets snappy with the girls soemtiems over it,it’s kind of hilarious.On his second year,he recently got in the habit of pecking my grandpa and grandmas legs when they would go to feed him,only at dinner time,until they kicked him.Never did it to me till this spring recently.Which we talked about until he did again today.He neevr attack’s aggressivly.Its like a normal peck such as if he sees something on you.No wing dancing,no fight stance just peck.No aggression stances or anything.My guess was he is excited to get food and is just to excited he can’t hold it,thought he peck was telling me to hurry my stuff up!But,I am unsure,anyone else have a bird like this?I don’t think he has aggressive genes cause all his sons are super friendl.
