My 1 year old Serama roo becoming mean

[triciayoung]

BTW, Greeters, thank you. It was so refreshing and touched my heart to see so many here who wanted to help this rooster. I get so tired and sad about the "off with his head" statements that are made so fast by some members.

I understand that it is best for a chicken to have a flock and to be outside....and, it is where they want to be. I also appreciate the "ideal" and most "natural" flock environment is a rooster and his hens with a lot of coop and outdoor secure space; as the best.

As @janiedoe, I have a disabled hen I rescued that cannot walk and has to be in the house. As Janie, I wish she could be with her flock, but that is not possible. I take her outside and walk around with her so that she can be outside, and of course, I have to feed her and give her water.

We also need to keep in mind when giving @Ruscul advice about getting hens that this is a double-edge sword. I find that roosters are much nicer to humans when the hens are not with them. When they are with hens, they do their God given job, that is to protect and that may mean protecting against a human.

Hi Ruscul.
You got a couples of good advices. Like the one from LTAY.

Strange person who gave you this rooster. He must have known there little chance you can keep a single rooster as a pet.

Keep in mind:

• Its a no go for a Serama to keep him outside in winter if its freezing. Especially if you have a small (A type) rooster.
• 1 hen gets overmated. Poor girl if you add just one. 2 or 3 hens is way better.

I wonder, how much does he weigh (there are different sizes of Serama’s). Do you have a picture? Where do you live. You can add it in your profile. I think there is a Serama group on BYC who might give good advices.
Ask @Noellereagan

Hes in my pfp i dont know how much Simba weigh
