Hello,
This isn't 'too' important...
But my Del/Dork rooster is VERY timid.
I can't hold him. When I walk in the coop,
I have to hold the door closed or else he'll push through when trying to escape!
He mated with another hen and the baby took his scare genes!
So now I have two beautiful birds I can't hold! Or feed!
I am able to pick up the baby (a hen) but not for long.
And when I pick up my rooster (after catching him) he'll kick me!
He only lets me pet him when he's not looking!
I know the "simple" methods...Read the following...
Including methods like feeding him and talking to him.
Showing him I won't hurt 'his' hens.
I have tried those! Thanks!
Let me know other methods please!
