I have 2 new roosters. Got rid of my old one because I like the genetics of the ones that I got with my last batch better. My problem is that one of these 2 guys are tearing up a couple of the hens feathers. My old roo never harmed a single feather but someone new has been ripping them up. I guess is there a way to tell which one is doing it? I have an Adny and he has longer spurs but the Slw i have seems to bumbke around.
Regardless of who, I need to protect the hens. She is the worst but i have 3 others that are starting to look this way. I know an apron only covers the body and the 1 brand has a piece that goes across the wings but from the looks of the pics, it only covers the top of the wings. I need the middle of the wing protected. Can you see it in this pic? Shes hiding in a tree. She is the oldest and usually goes to the barn and spends the day there while both younger guys stay with the girls they grew up with so she is only with them a few hrs while they all lay, and then night.
