Hi all! We added a cockerel (Elvis) to our flock about a month and a half ago. He is thought to be about 5-6 months old. We have 8 RIR pullets that are about 8 months old. I added the cockerel for a few reasons, but the main one being we wanted him to rule the roost. We have a pullet who is just a total pain. She is bossy/mean/abusive to the other hens. We have named her Regina George because that’s exactly who she reminds me of. Unfortunately, my cockerel is kind of a wuss. She rules him, and when she starts on him, she eggs the other girls on too (no pun intended). So then it’s a circus of chasing poor Elvis until he has to go hide. Is this just his personality? Will he grow into being an assertive roo? Also, I haven’t heard him crow at all. He doesn’t barely make any noise actually. Any advice would be much appreciated.
