Rooster attitude changing?

[keesmom]

We had a March 2019 Chantecler rooster start up like this too. First the stalking, then he bit my son and ambushed my daughter from behind a bush. Although he was the better male conformation-wise, he became pot pie. The other one goes about his chicken business and ignores people.

The more I watch this guy, the less I like him, even if he's not actually stalking me.

Update; he's been behaving better, so at least a temporary reprieve...

My Blue Maran rooster follows me around when I'm in it's area. I give him treats for him to give his hens, I hope he doesn't get mean I really like him.

The problem is that I don't feed him treats! He's being entirely too 'vigilant', and so far a bit better. He just 'happens' to be near me when I'm out there, but no actual attacks, at least not yet.

Sometimes they are just a little bored and hope for some entertainment or food, but in your case... better watch out!

I had a cuckoo marans rooster (about 13 months) who was doing that. It was making me a little uncomfortable. One day he ran up and "bit" the back of my leg. (Left a huge bruise.) I had a rake in my hand and without thinking I hit him with it. I felt horrible for doing so but he apparently felt worse. He stopped stalking me and gave me a wide birth after that.
We were planning to eat him but..
He actually turned out to be a pretty good guy. I had a hen who was setting on eggs. When the eggs hatched, he was so fond of the chicks that I gave him a reprieve. He was a very entertaining papa rooster. He would warm the chicks, call them for feed, and let them climb all over him.
I rehomed him along with some of his chicks with full disclosure. He is still living and the people who adopted him love him.
Not trying to discourage you from making chicken dinner. Lol. Just thought I'd share.

I'd be delighted if this guy does something really nice, as yours did. We'll see.

Hi Mary,

I was just wondering if your formerly unpleasant EE rooster is behaving. Is he still stalking you?
