I have a rooster that is 1 yr old. I just got 3 day old baby chicks in march and 1 in April. All hens. I introduced the chicks to him starting the day I brought them home. Made sure every day I took them out to be with and around him. When it got to where they could run around they would spend more time with him. Always with me there to watch. Never a problem. Only issue I am having is when it gets bedtime and everyone jumps up in the coop, the baby is out. I thought she wast having trouble knowing what to do or afraid of the darkness inside coop. Got night light for coop. Still she doesn't want to go in. When I try to put her in she screams and flaps her wings and crawls up my arms. I put her in and she gets up against the wall. Then the rooster reaches over and bites her. No wonder she doesn't want in. Why is he doing that to her? All is fine during the day. Jis t when it's bedtime on the coop.
