The rooster in question has probably lost his position as alpha male in the flock; especially if there are younger, more bodily-abled cockerels or cocks that he has to compete with.

If a male is not the Alpha, he is the lowest on the pecking order. It is highly likely he is being picked on by other flock members, especially when he is trying to eat or drink. He is hiding, perhaps because he has been attacked by other flock memebers, or is tired of being picked on.

at about 8 weeks old or so they start developing small differences.
