- My rooster is not at the top of the pecking order, what do i do?Ok so i have this beautiful Little bantam/serama rooster, i love him with all my heart, he is the light of my life. He is 5 years old. Well, all his life, he was the Alpha rooster, at the top of the pecking order, always beating the rest of the roosters, either small like him or big big. Well, last week, my parents told me that this nacked neck rooster finally beat him. I find IT strange, because this nacked neck was so afraid of my small roo. Now, after my roo was beat by this big guy, he changed so much. He stopped to eat for a couple of days, my parents thought he would die. Hes ok, thanks god. But now my baby is afraid of eberything, tends to be by himself, doesnt spend time with the other chickens. What do i do to fix this? He is suffering, i see this, he is not the Alpha anymore and i need him to be happy and a leader like he always was. Please be kind, i am very scared for his life, i dont want to lose him, i love him so much, he is my pet and my Best friend! Thank You! submitted by /u/lexandrix [link] [comments]
