Sorry Ive been gone and busy...Ok update on Big Daddy...he still continues to come after me, after the 2nd time of coming at me, on a 3rd time he has drawn blood again, different leg....now when I go into the run, I carry a pvc pipe the size of me almost and I have whomped him a couple of times ...he does run but if I dont have the stick, he continues his games. I really hate to kill him or get rid of him he is gorgeous, but if he is being like this, NOBODY CAN HAVE HIM, HE MIGHT HURT SOMEONE.
I know he is probably protecting his girls, but I really need to do something with him. He is THE ONLY ROO in that run...Yesterday for the very first time, I let me flocks range free, I dont do this as Im scared I wont be able to catch them all to put back. I have four coop/runs. Big Daddys flock has 10, my Buffs/ Fr. Cuckoo maran has 10, my EE run has 10, and then I have 3 in one smaller one. I did let out Big Daddy while my buff roos were out, he didnt stay out long and he ran into his run when he saw other roos....Im wondering if another roo in with him might settle him down?...BUT I WOULD HATE TO HAVE ROOS FIGHTING all the time or worse yet bring out agression in the other roos.
I even thought of Pulling Big Daddy out of that main coop with the girls, and putting him alone...or with another roo alone...Im lost.
