My Wyandotte Chick is a Jerk

[4xhennifer]

I’m not sure what to do with this CRAZY BLRW I have. My girls are 4.5 weeks old and almost since day 1 my dotte has been a flighty, crazy, jump all over the other chicks, spaz. I feel so bad for the other girls. She jumps on top of them when they’re cuddled up with me or just when they’re foraging and minding their own business. How do I discourage this behavior? I feel so bad for the other girls. FYI, I haven’t ruled out her being a he, though other than some thick legs, I don’t see any other physical signs of a cockerel.

Please edit your post, we don't allow that phraseology here.
Seperate it on the other side of a fence ir get rid of it.

My Wyandotte cockerel was super active when he was a chick on my lap.

A) if the mods want to edit it, have it.
B) thanks for being completely unhelpful in all respects. You sound just like my Wyandotte!

Read my above post. I answered your question. It's probably a cockerel.

@nuthatched answered your question. Discouraging behaviors in chickens usually involves separation, sometimes temporary, sometimes permanent. Chickens can't be trained like dogs. I agree that it is most likely a cockerel.

spaz.

I think that’s what the other poster was talking about. Just a thought, I don’t care whether you edit, but I believe it is offensive to the British.

Chickens can't be trained, separation sometimes helps but if they've been cuddled from day one, it doesn't bode well. Ostracizing happens in flocks when someone isn't acting proper. Aggressive tendencies in cockerels can be encouraged through "pet" i.e petting, holding etc. Best to be hands off until you can judge genders, then treat males like livestock and pullets as pets.
