So if you have any other males around that you want to keep get rid of him or them or pen them separately as he will fight non stop against another male once hes hormones hit if he's pretty game. Even game hens unless raised together will fight non stop.

Keeping gamefowl is awhole different world but a promising and fullfilling one.
I don't have others...I don't even have a coop (yet). We're thinking of converting the kids playhouse. This one showed up, it goes to the neighbors yard to sleep in a tree, but comes to our yard to forage. I don't have any experience owning chickens, but have always wanted some. I think it's cool it just showed up and adopted us! Lol
 
Welcome! Converted play houses can work really well! Get some chick starter or an all-flock feed, small bag, and check the mill date (on the lower edge of the bag somewhere) so that it's no more than a month old. And don't let him into your space, as in pecking your feet or whatever. Close is okay, but he needs to move out of your way, not try to push you around.
Chickens are helpless at night, so a safe coop ASAP will be good, and some girl friends. Mary
