One of my 6 week old chicks is gonna be a rooster. He's so timid and acts like.... well, a scared chicken. Always is the furthest away from me. He winds up in the corner of the brooder with his head in the corner. Avoids me at all costs. Steps over all the other chicks to get away from me. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Will he be able to do his "rooster responsibilities" when it comes time?
I've tried to gently socialize him from day one but now I'm afraid he's just anti-social.
He doesn't act sick at all. Eats, drinks everything in that department seems ok. When he sleeps he's always at the furthest side of the brooder. Is this something I should be concerned about or just wait it out?
