New Hampshire reds about 12 weeks

Thank you! Let us know how it turns out, I'm curious now. My girls combs just now started turning that color and they're 24 weeks.

New Hampshire’s are a docile breed,sounds like he is going through teenage hormones.My rooster is very sweet.Allows holding and everything

I certainly hope he will change. I’ve never raised males so I don’t know that aspect of chicken keeping yet. I love to learn new things from all of y’all who have! Thank you.

I’m glad I happened up on this thread. I have a NHR that I ordered from Meyers Hatchery, supposed to be a pullet, but it fell in the 10% and is a roo. Boo hoo! Anyway, that sucker is M.E.A.N....to me! No light pecks from him and at times he all out BITES me. I thought NHRs were more docile than this, even the males.

Dang. I’ve never had any experience thankfully with a mean rooster. How old is he. Maybe he’s young enough where you can change that but I don’t really know how that works my rooster is always been very sweet. Good luck

Thank you for your input. Yup I’m very iffy on one. These are the only two that made me question the other eight I am pretty confident our pullets

The little booger will be 6 wks on Monday, but he’s been that way for about 2 weeks now.

Ugh. I’m so sorry. Hopefully you can get him in check. Can’t imagine an aggressive rooster issue. Best of luck.
