I added 4 new chickens to my flock a few months ago, unfortunately 2 turned out to be roosters. And of course it’s time for one of them to go cause I only have 7 hens. The bigger rooster is a real butthole and he’s very aggressive with my hens. At first I thought it was that he is trying to mate with them but he doesn’t fully know what he’s doing yet and so he sucks at it and my girls have zero patience for a rooster who doesn’t know what he’s doing. Lol but now I think he’s just being hateful. He chased one of my hens yesterday, I was getting in the car to leave and I see him running full speed and I knew he was after Pep so I got out the car and she is running for her life to get away from him and he’s got a big chunk of her feathers in his mouth. I ran after him and knocked him off his feet, he stopped and looked at me for a second and then went right back to chasing her. She ran to me and I picked her up so he went on about his business but he definitely signed his death certificate with me yesterday. My question is, is something that a rooster coming into his “manhood” does? Like is my other rooster going to start doing the same thing once this is gone? How do you know if you’ve got a good rooster I guess is what I’m really trying to figure out…
