Hello, Im new to the forum but I have 5 hens and a Rooster. All are leghorns. Hens lay eggs fine no problem. Its the rooster I dont know what to do with.
My rooster, Foghorn, is always in a crowing war with the rooster next door. Foghorn is always mounting to hens, CONSTANTLY. My poor hens are all cut up from his tormenting them. Although I might not know to much about them, this cant be healthy. Can you give me any advice how to stop him before I have to remove him.
They all are very healthy. They are just about a yr old. On Purina layer pellets. I want to get more hens, but this rooster is driving me nuts.
Oh, we got the chickens for my daughter, who is in FFA. Got them at an auction. She built the coop and has done a great job, but im worried the rooster is going to kill the hens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
