Training or enabling?

So my very first go at incubating landed me with one lone feathered soul. Pretty sure we have another roo on our hands due to his physical size and feathers coming in at 6 weeks. His feet have always been abnormally large from day one. With the sub zero weather outside we can't bring ourselves to put him out with others. So the pet as he's become thinks riding around on ones shoulder is like cruising the strip one some perfect summer night with the top down. Anyone else have this problem with their young roosters?

Sorry, I am not going to be of any assistance because I have no experience with roosters but I just wanted to say that your description cracked me up!!

Roos are great fun until they realize they ARE roosters, then they change into an almost different bird. I raised 7 roos from egg till 3 weeks into crowing.. Had to sell all but one.

Ah yes, the roo to parrot transformation begins! My first roo loves to climb all over me and especially get on my shoulders. Later, when I hatched some eggs (4/5 were roos!!!), all of those roos started climbing on me too!
