Hi,
I have a rooster whom I would like to separate from the hens just temporarily. There aren't problems with him as far as the hens go. He is a sweet kind rooster to his hens. We even had a silkie recently hatch a few chicks and all seems peaceful with everyone together.
The only issue with him is that he really dislikes my husband and recently started being a bit aggressive, and we would like to take him to our ranch to see if we could work out any issues with him. I don't want his aggression to escalate for fear that if it does we will not be able to keep him. He is my daughters chicken, and I would do most anything to remedy this problem before it gets too bad. The ranch is miles away from our other coop, so unfortunately he would not be able to see his hens for about 3-4 days or even up to a week.
He is the only rooster we plan on having.
The other thing is that we have about 7 (10week olds)pullets at our ranch we are raising to be eventually introduced to the flock.
Would it be ok to bring the rooster out here with us to the ranch and introduced him to the new pullets? We don't have to have them in the same coop at night
Then when the summer is over it may be easier to introduce everyone?
Any thoughts appreciated
