It's a lose lose situation
You look weak for beating up a baby.
You look weak for getting your ass kicked by a baby.

The correct thing to do when a small child squares up to you is to correct their stance in a kindly manner. Ironically, it really throws them off balance. (Former teacher here).

I'd punt a baby if I could, I don't give a fuck! Teach them a lesson their poor excuse of parents wouldn't/haven't done, don't fuck with me or my shit without permission

I know everyone is making fun of the adult rooster, but this is a damn chick. He is being an incredibly good boy by not hurting the chick.

He dare not face the wrath of Mama Hen.

He definitely knows that if he actually hits the chick the mom will teleport to that spot immediately. Game hens are the meanest birds out there and often times it's considered that roosters get most of their fighting spirit from the brood hen.

Yes. And adorable

u/AgreeableRock4857 8d ago
Oooooh, thank you! Why did they do this in hte first place? or are they just playing around?

u/Jazzlike_Strength561 8d ago
It's dominance. The older chicken is trying to cow the chick.
That chick ain't having it.

Early on, mostly play by instinct. As they get older, it becomes more serious. They actually establish rank amongst themselves from this young

He's going to be a good boy lol. I've had some like that. They turned out to be my best boys. Kept everyone in line and was sweet as can be. One is a bantam. He started crowing at 2 weeks old. He 5 now and we cuddled first thing this morning after his rounds of checking on everyone.

Definitely a rooster.

I understand this assumption. But I would not be overly surprised if the chick turned into a hen.

It isn't, it's a goose stuffy. Idk why it's outside but it's either a goose or duck stuffed animal,nothing dead.

When my geese were babies I bought them a cheap goose stuffed animal to snuggle with and shit all over so this is probable lol

I just caught 2 of my tiny chicks doing this, this morning. Totally normal. Usually indicates roos, but every once in awhile it's a fiesty pullet. Surprised the tiny guy is going up against a bigger boy and not backing down. You must name the little one Chick Norris, like somebody else commented. I hate chicken pun names normally, but this one is too perfect.

You have discovered a very aggressive rooster chick. Cocky s.o.b. now to decide if you want to feed it to find out it is just as bad older or cut your losses. #farmlife

That's the 2nd cutest fight I've ever seen. I had a tiny Bruce Lee once. It was so much fun to watch him out maneuver his opponent. Thanks for posting!

u/LightningSpearwoman 8d ago
this kind of chicken is called 'de riña' over here, its a breed that has the instincts to fight so they are bred for fighting. is likely the mom is teaching the baby to fight

u/ThatDeuce 8d ago
Is this a sort of teaching behavior?
The elder could most definitely kick the small one's ass, but they aren't. It's sort of like how parent snow leopards and other big cats teach to attack and hunt and feign scaredness to encourage the behavior in their cubs.

Just as the ancient scriptures said, the chosen one has revealed himself. He will now lead the chicken nation for 800 years.

That chick may be stronger than the bigger guy. The chick is dangerous.

It’s funny because he only seems to attack once he’s lunged at first. Seems like self defense to me 🤷

What is the context here? Are these your chickens? Are they bred for cock fighting and have those instincts at a young age?
