I don't think getting money back would be an option, don't know though. I did sell some of my girls that he bikers with today.
 
Maybe it's a pecking order thing. My roo "corrals" the girls the direction he wants them to go. If he's trying to eat (treats or food) and they get in his way he lets them know he's boss. He shakes his leg and scoots/charges toward them and they back right off. He wasn't like that when he was younger either, but now that he's reaching maturity he "keeps them in line".

It doesn't look like pecking order, but anything is possible

Most of the time my roo is pretty sweet, he even stands by the nesting box and squabbles back and forth with Ghost when she's trying to lay, but he can be a bit of a booger when it comes to food/treats. Sometimes in the morning he has a bad attitude too like "quit crowding me I want my space". It's kind of funny now that I know what my Oreo is doing, if he shakes his left leg he'll be charging to the right, and if he shakes his right leg he'll be charging to the left. He also puffs out his feathers and shakes his head sometimes, or flaps his wings when he's annoyed with something but not so annoyed he's going to charge.

Honestly I'm not too sure. I'll have to check and see.
