So...as a first time rooster owner (4 month old Cream Legbar) I have been watching his behavior--he has been fine so far...
He mounted two of my free ranging hens right in front of me. Is that something I should let go? Ignore? Stop? I'm hands off with the beautiful little guy...the hens don't seem to mind him and he keeps watch over them while free ranging.
I really want to keep him and want to do the right things that remind him I'm the one in charge if needed...
So far he keeps out of my way in the pen, but seems more reluctant do do so, moves more slowly than he used to.
I often take my laptop out to the yard while they are out, getting some work done while watching them. Lots of predators here. I do notice that when Henry is out with the girls, they stay closer. Once in a while he loses them and I call them in closer. I prefer to have them in sight.
If it's not broke, don't fix it! The hands off/ignore approach is one I recommend. I have a Cream Legbar roo and he behaved much as yours from the time he started coming into his hormones. He would mate a hen right next to me and it would be over without my hardly being aware anything took place, he was that smooth. Ignoring him has permitted him to ease into his role as flock protector without any conflicts. He has always deftly removed himself from my path and has never tried to challenge me. Early on, I knew he was a keeper.
Keep on doing what you have been doing. I believe it will assure you have a gentleman roo.
