My rooster, Chickie doesnt like to be around other chickens. I find it strange that he doesnt even seem to like hens, never mind his antagonistic behavior toward Roo, his first chicken "friend". I was told that chickens are very social and like to stick together in groups. Chickie just chases the others away from food and so now they are all scared to death of him. He roosts by himself in the garage while the others roost together in the coop. Does this behavior sound familiar to anyone or do I just have a very odd bird on my hands?
PS Chickie was raised alone for the first 3 months of his life...he just had me and the many human contacts (kids and other faculty) from me taking him to school with me every day until he was about a month old.
