rooster behavior

[krackowpolish]

hi, i have a young rooster that is attacking his sister. he is about one month old and made his sister bleed. is there anything i can do to stop this behavior?

 

[Ghostbelly]

he is just telling her to be loyal to him. do you already have another rooster?

 

[krackowpolish]

yes but he is young too, only 2 months.

 

[Ghostbelly]

its what my rooster does whenever there is a new female so i don't know what else to tell ya

 

[krackowpolish]

he just started today, when do you think he'll get over it?

 

[Ghostbelly]

when she decides to be his i'm sure this won't go on long it didn't with my roo but it could just be something else entirely

I got a hen and 7 2 month old chicks, and a few have started facing off with each other, and just about anything. It gives me a good indication of which ones are cockerels I think...Then again the hens do it too....I think it is just chicken behavior. If it is causing any serious injuries then I would try to figure out something...perhaps a smaller cage within the coop that you can put a couple of the chickens in until they are better behaved, or more acclimated to each other.
