It's 2025. Your rooster identifies as a hen

You are funny.

My 2 cockerels are already crowing that hatched the end of August. They will be 8 weeks old in about 10 more days. I'm using a vinegar and water solution in a spray bottle to keep my adult rooster at a safe distance.He waited 2 years to test me

Im blown away when I went to feed them yesterday and the hen crowed at me. I was shocked. She also growls. Snuck up behind me one day and pecked me in my calf. All three will chase me around the yard. I don’t understand it.

I will have to try the water and vinegar spray.
I had 4 roosters and no aggression towards myself or any other humans at all. Three of them lived in the same coop and the fourth in a different coop. They all shared the same backyard.
The top 3 on the packing order were all friendly towards me. The fourth and youngest, bought from a local breeder at 8 weeks old, was always very cautious and kept his distance.
I lost my top 3 roosters within a week.
Now #4 is showing signs of sneaky aggression. I know the signs and never turn my back on him anymore.
However, I dealt with a very aggressive rooster before and will not go through that again.
I do want a rooster for my hens but with so many good ones out there, there is no reason to deal with a rooster I cannot trust.
I will try the spray. For his sake, let's hope it works.
