I have a growing flock of 9 hens and 1 rooster I have a broody with 4 chicks and 2 pulleys who will be introduced soon.
My rooster is about 1.5 Wyandotte. I never had any issue with him until probably around late spring when he started attacking my husband and now has started going after me. I need to be very careful around him if he sees my bending down or not paying attention he will go in for a sneak attack. Especially if I’m holding anything he gets very aggressive.
He has never really bothered the hens but actually I thought was very good with them but today he pulled a bunch of feathers out of one of the hens and she now has a big bald spot. A couple others look really rough loosing wing feathers and on their backs from breeding.
I am contemplating finding a new home for him to someone who does not mind the above mentioned behavior perhaps with more hens & land.
Does this behavior seem generally considered acceptable or am I being dramatic ?
