He's not a rooster, yet. He's a baby. All my young chicks like to snuggle with each other, regardless of gender.
Young cockerels are often perceived by humans as the most "friendly" birds. But, what humans see as friendliness is really the bird being quite assertive.There's a reason most chicks are leery of humans, they're little prey animals and know they're vulnerable. A young bird walking up to a large human is actually very bold, not friendly.
If you intend to keep him, I'd start respect training now. He's male livestock, not a pet. Treat him as such. Enforce respect by having him yield to you when you're out and about. Walk toward him and make him move away from you. You don't need to chase him or anything like that, and he won't be afraid of you. He'll respect you, and that will be a good thing when he's 10lbs and has inch long spurs and thinks you're messing with his favorite hen.
