Little guy got into the electric fence :/

[chickens45]

this is probably a dumb question so forgive me..

My biggest rooster (2.5 months old) accidentally ran into the electric fence the other day.

He eats well, runs around with the others and seems fine except he’s very ...quiet. The other two Roosters I have same age.. peep and honk up a storm when I feed them.. they’re constantly noisy and into everything.. But this little guy hangs back and won’t hardly even peep. He also has been going off by himself foraging for food instead of staying with the other two. He’s been super watchful lately just sitting or standing around observing

he was also trying to get them back in the run and coop the other night at bedtime By head butting them and pecking them to go in.. it was adorable. I had no idea a rooster could try to lead other roosters lol they finally did listen to the little guy and went in and he came trotting last behind them

he’s just been really quiet lately and seems more mature and like he’s sick of their crap and nonsense lol

I don’t know if the shock did something to his personality? He doesn’t seem hurt physically and I think it mostly gave him a good scare

but could he be traumaitized? Could He have experienced this tramatic event and his personality altered by it?

am I just worrying and overthinking this
Lol

I've been zapped by an electric fence. My chickens have been zapped by the fence. You are over thinking the fence zapping.

The only time there could be a problem is if a critter or human got hung up in the fence and it keeps zapping you or them. Usually though it's just uncomfortable, and very jarring.

Sounds like he learned a lesson the others haven't learned yet.
