Hello folks,
I have a very small beginning of an Ayam Cemani flock (2 roos 2 hens) and one of the roos always attacks when I go in there. The other one doesn't bother me ever. I think the behavior is pretty ingrained at this point, and I can think of some reasons for his behavior, such as pen size, not enough hens, or boredom, but my main worry is if it will be irresponsible to hatch eggs he may have fertilized. I can't have a bunch of violent chickens. Wondering if human-hostile temperament in roos is likely part genetically based? Any thoughts welcome. He basically acts like he thinks I am a rooster.
