My birds are just over two months old now. They are getting big, I had two (maybe three) roosters in the coop. I gave one away and waiting to see if the other one that I think is a rooster turns out to be one.
The one that I know is a rooster is a prick! Just all around doesn't like me, he doesn't jump and try to attack. But does bite a lot when I am hand feeding the hens. He comes in and just bites my arm or fingers or what ever he can, could care less about he food that I am giving the flock.
Yesterday, he got me good! Didn't brake the skin, but man did it hurt a bite. Latched on like a PitBull playing with a rope. I popped him in his head to get him to back off so I could feed the hens.
Getting rid of him is not an option, I want the Roo for flock protection.
Rant over, thanks.
