I have read alot.of.posts about rooster behavior and warning signs that a rooster will one day attack. I have 4 roosters ages 6 to 8 months old. They are an all rooster flock. They have been together since they were chicks. They follow me around everywhere. When I go outside they come to me . They are free range and know their names.i do pet them and pick them up. They seem to get jealous if I'm holding one or petting one and not all of them. Sometimes when I carry one of them the other rooster will grab my pants leg and try to hold me back. I do give them treats and I do have multiple feeders so they don't fight. What are signs they might one day attack? Do they just really love me that much?
Yesterday I was cleaning their feeders when they noticed a hawk circling us. They formed a circle around me instead of going to hide. Can a rooster be trusted? I feel safe around them and never feel as if they are going to attack me but this is the first time I've raised chickens. I have also had my back to them several times and they have never tried to jump me. They usually just come see what I'm doing or stand beside me.
