    Blue Ameracauna aggressive behavior; temporary or permanent

    I also started w one hen because I wanted to see if he was going to be aggressive. We’ve watched him all day with that one and he’s been fine! 😁. I added 2 more hens and we will see how they do.

    Yes. When I tried adding him in he just flew over the electric fence w greatest of ease! This other area we have as an additional run for the flock. He can’t fly over this fence as easily. We divide the 2 roosters and what ever hens want to go w each. Right now we have one hen w Hector the...

    We’ve created a 20x20’. Place for him and one of our hens refused to leave so he is now w a girl and being nice. He does the cluck dor food and he’s even mounted her. I stayed w them for half an hour and he was doing all the good things roosters do! I sure hope he was just immature OR trying...

    Blue Ameracauna aggressive behavior; temporary or permanent

    Here’s an update on his behavior. 2 hens escaped in the yard yesterday and he did his bullet run at them. He was promptly put in the brooder box, timeout. This morning he coaxed a hen out of the fenced in garden (I take them daily there to clean it up etc) and he mounted her!!! Then he did his...

    He’s about 6 months old, ordered by friend from hatchery. When he attacks the hens he gets very low and runs fast and rams them. He resembles a bullet. He hasn’t tried to mount them, just run them thru. His previous home had 4 roosters and 2 hens in a very small area. The first day we had him...

    This young rooster is new to us and was aggressive in last flock they thought due to overcrowding/few hens etc. He spent the first few days here in our wooded area bc he escaped. He attacked my sweet hen I put in with him (large area, plenty of food and water). I thought he was going to be a...

    Ameraucana Silver rooster?

    Can this breed be so picky he only wants other Ameraucana hens? Or are some roosters just bad to hens, abusive? He crouches and does what I call a bullet hit to them. He hasn’t tried to mount any that I’ve noticed. I made the mistake of putting him w my sweetest. Now I pair him w Miss Mean
