One view: First of all you need to keep him safe from predators until he's big enough to fend for himself. Give him some scratch feed, and even some laying hen feed, veggies, table scraps whatever you find that he will eat. Give him plenty of attention or he might get aggresive towords you. I let mine freerange and really don't feed them anything more than some scratch and fresh water every day. They seem to be quite happy and wiegh about 15 pounds apiece.

What is a banty rooster?

Banty is short for Bantam. The old folks back in the day just always call Bantam Roosters, "banty" roosters. In addition this term is used to describe the behavior of some short men who may tend to walk with a swagger and adopt a somewhat exaggerated male posture. They are called banty roosters after the bantam rooster both because of their size and because their behavior can "out-rooster" the more standard sized rooster. Bantams are about 1/4 the size of what is considered a "regular" chicken. They are sometimes referred to as domestic game birds. Most people raise them as pets, unfortunately there are those who still raise and use them to fight. A Banty rooster will try with all his might to mate a standard hen. Whether he can actually make the connection to fertilize eggs is a whole nother question.
