Rooster, what do I do?

Date sort Score sort
Iv seen him 10-12 times but I don't go out their much with the cold weather and cleaning the house for the winter, but I also don't want vertical eggs for all my hens just one or two, but I'm just worried cuz the one he chose I weak, but getting better, but the roo breaks her stride, in a bad way, and when she eats he harasses her and tries to mate her, same with the water.

Jail him then.. and if you let him out, put the little one in protective custody until he is back in his jail... OR  eat him and get a rooster that is not so over bearing......

Um, ok that sounds harsh but smart, guess I'll do that thanks for the help, and I didn't think about putting wasabi (the one he hits on) up thanks soooooo much

Sorry did not mean to seem harsh.

I eat my most of my roosters and forget others may not raise them to eat. Sorry again.

I picked the 3 best roosters of mine to keep and then kept a 4th one (saved from freezer camp) that managed to elude me on processing day and has actually turned into a good rooster.

I know people have rooster problems but in my case I think my head rooster keeps the others in check. I have not seen any overzealous mating or harassing of the hens. All of mine are about 6-7 months old.

No it's fine, I just sometimes forget that some people raise chickens for meat or eggs and meat, but no need to apologize.:)
 
Just a quick update, I put him on Craig's list, and gave him away to a vet who had 11 hens with a huge coop, he gets to hang with the hens, and I just found out 3 days ago, that he is a father to 7 chicks (it would be 8 but nature took it's course) I'm glad that he is a happy rooster with a little family of his own.
