My sizzle roo is obviously the head of our flock and is starting to show it, watching out while the others eat and so forth which is great. But he has started to challenge me a bit which is very surprising since he is the most laid back sweetest chicken we have. I question him being a roo for a while (til he crowed). Is this pretty normal for young roos to do this to establish the order? What should I do to nip this in the bud. I have read holding them upside down by the feet and I just don't want to do something to make it worse. I have kids and don't want them to get hurt. Any suggestions? He has only done it a couple times, usually when I let them out of the coop in the mornings or if I go toward the group suddenly. Thanks for your help.
