Advice On What to Expect

Hi Everyone and a Prosperous New Year to You All!  I have a four month old cockerel that is a real character already.  He just started crowing on Christmas Day.  He's been a real teenager when it comes to the ladies too.  He's already bigger than the full grown hens (Daddy was a Brahma).  So far, the crowing is only in the early morning unless he is upset about something.  It this the way he is going to stay?  Will he grow anymore?  I was wondering if his placid personality would change as he got older.  He seems so adult already.  In the picture, he is the tall orange bird in the middle.  That was taken a month ago and now he is towering over the other three ladies.

Thank you, New Shoot!  Hobart's dad is very placid and huge!  Thank you for your encouragement and I will continue to talk to him and make a fuss over him!   

Thank you, Debbie!  Hobart makes a deep rosey sound in his throat whenever I put treats out.  He is acting so grown-up for being only four months old!  Your response to my question is so welcome as it tells me that this lad is going to continue to be a great cockerel!   

I got 2 big white splash Bramhas, they have grownb up together, yes they face each other off now and then, but nothing spectacular

They always make this little rosey noise when they get any treats, and its only in the morning I hear them, they are both characters in theior own right

I was a bit dubious about keeping them together, but they seem to get on fine, they always sleep next to each other in the evenings

They do a little dance around their selected girl friend, then pounce, they tower above all the other hens, and the chief chook still gets in before them and a peck lets them know she is boss

I have had them since March last year, they are smashing birds and both enjoy a little petting but get fed up after a few minutes

I had bantams, they never liked me petting them, but loved being pushed around in a push chair by my grand daughter

I am still waiting for 'Ant and Dec' to thank me by laying a cockerel egg

I have a Dutch bantam cockerel

he is so small but boy has he got a big attitude 

he actually attacks some of my hens as he has no sparring partner - I only let him out with the girls if I'm there as he needs to be kept an eye on

I used to have a larger cock and he was totally opposite - a real gent to the girls ( not like this little beggar is )

Sounds like little man syndrome!!!
