Have a pretty large fenced in area for my chickens: 40' X 80'. Used to let them free range but the bobcats and coyotes were thinning them out pretty fast. Anyways, we have 13 new hens, thought it was 14 until one turned out to be a rooster. Already had a rooster from the previous batch who is older. Question is the older rooster is very dominant even though the younger one is the larger of the two, I had kept them separate, but now need the other pen for something else. So let the older roo into the closure where he promptly kicked the younger ones butt. They're separated again, but I need the room, if I put the younger one back in will he learn to just give the the dominate one room or do I have worry the dominate roo will eventually kill him? Thanks
