My rooster made my hen abanden her 5 week old chicks

Date sort Score sort
I will boldly tread where all men and women fear to tread.

I don't know who is the most put-upon of the two chicken sexes, the rooster or the hen?

Remember for all the squawking, flailing about, and chasing that goes on, the roosters' and hens' external reproductive organs never come-into contact with each-other and never does one penetrate the other. This is despite the 4 letter word that we often use when referring to an adult rooster, he just doesn't have this roosteresk body part. Personally I think that Mama Nature cruelty cheated the poor rooster but others may have a different opinion. At any rate this activity is all that being a chicken has to offer to either the hen or to the rooster so let them enjoy each-others company in peace.
 
Chicks at five weeks of age are at age typically weaned. Hen stops clucking and chicks will be confused by that for a day or so as association then them and mother hen weakens substantially. Hen also at that time typically beginning to give signs to rooster she is ready to mate.
