I ordered some sexed chicks, now 4 weeks old. I am without a doubt that one is rooster. His comb is twice the size as everyone else's and red already. I am fortunate enough to keep a rooster where I live, but I am a bit nervous. Some of the stories I have read on here have def. scared me and then I also understand NH Red Roosters are not the most docile of birds.
Seeing how he is only weeks old is there anything I can do to prevent him from growing into being a jerk? We already spend a good amount of time daily with the chickens. My older barred rocks love to be held and cuddled, these new 4 week old NH Reds aren't too keen on human touch. Should we seperate him? Maybe bring him inside with some chicken diapers for a while? Hold him a bunch?
