Hatching
I have had my roo in "solitary" for over a week now. He was aggressive to me and we had a hen die, I think he may have been too rough with her during mating because all of our other hens are fine. It seemed to me that she had a broken neck. Our roo is RIR and the hen in question is a buff orp. The buffs frequently fly out of our fenced area and the roo hates this. The day the hen died, she had been outside the fence. I did not witness this, but I was fearful that the roo "punished" her for leaving the area and that was what caused her death. I was afraid he might attack another hen, so I separated him. I was hoping a "time-out" might reset his thinking. Have I waited too long now? Do you think he could be rehabilitated and rejoin the flock? He was such a good roo before all this, I really hate to lose him.
