Hello, I am new to owning chickens. I have had my flock for a year now and added two boys which I hatched they are 5 and 6 months old. One of them is a back yard mix, Elliot, and just the most lovable boy. The other is an Ayam Cemani, Preston, he is 4 months old and has allowed me to pick him up and hold him. He has been challenging me lately and is being more aggressive. Today when I picked him up he tried to peck me and I got on to him and he stopped. Tonight I went into the run and he pecked me on my leg of course I pushed him pretty hard back and he seemed done. He has also been showing some pretty nasty behavior towards his girls I picked up a hand full of feathers he plucked out of one of his girls. I don't want him to be a mean roo and I feel like he is still young enough to change his behavior. You should know I have separate coops and runs for the boys and there girls and they both get free range time 4-5 hours a day at separate times. Preston's girls are not laying yet so he is not mating yet. Please any and all advice tips and tricks to make this happen is welcome. I added a picture of both my boys and there flocks. TIA
