Mean Drake

[Peep-Chicken]

He's about four months old, I hatched him myself. He has always been pretty nice. The other day, he started biting me when I stuck my hand in the cage. Today, he was biting me when I was holding him. He's not just nibbling, it hurts! I can't even grab the other two chickens in there without him guarding the door of the cage.

Why did he get so mean? Will he get better?

He is maturing and showing his dominance........You might have to set him strait?....You can try by pushing him down and holding him their till he relaxes ?....

He is just being a brat and being pushy...

Best of luck...

Cheers!

Thanks! Could he get nicer if I got him some female duck friends?

Yes....Ducks need other Ducks...He is possibly bored and needs a couple of ladies...

Sounds good! I'll have to track some hens down.
