I am having a bit of trouble pen training my silkie cockerel. He is a sweet boy, and never gives me any problems as far as aggression etc goes, I have been keeping him in a large cage type pen for the past month to get him used to being in a cage, and he gets out regularly. However, when I put my hand into the pen he doesn't like my hand around his head and will peck me sometimes quite hard when I put it there. He stands well, comes to the front of the cage and lets me pick him up with no problems, it's just this pecking when I put my hand to his face, he will also peck at the stick, in fact gets pretty angry with it. His first show is in a few weeks time and I am worried that he will do the same thing to the judge. Any suggestions I would be very grateful for. Thank you!
