I have a 3 and a half month old Buff Orpington rooster, he is very sweet to me, he eats out of my hand and will sit in my lap for hours if I let him, he even follows me around the yard. But recently i have noticed him getting aggressive with my hens. He bits them! He bits the back of their necks and won't let go, this morning I had to pull him off of one of the girls. The hen he was biting was screeching and afterward seemed scared of him.
So my question is, is this normal behavior? What can/should I do? He is my only roo and is so sweet with me I just don't understand his behavior with the girls. I love him and he's definitely a favorite of mine but I don't want him to hurt the other hens ( 7 hens total )
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
