So my roommate and I have a little flock of silkies and we just decided to add some more roosters because our fertility rates have been low (One rooster over ten hens). We ended up with two pretty black boys with gorgeous beards and we seperated four or five hens and put them in with them. It's been about a week and they're like middle schoolers at a dance--Re: they stay on opposite sides of the pen not even looking at each other. Now, the first couple of days, these roosters were crowing and doing their dance, but now they just stay huddled in the corner farthest from the original roo's pen. The hens have just sat next to the gate, pining. This morning we put up a tarp between them, hoping a visual barrier would get their minds off him, but we've been unsuccessful thus far.
tl;dr, our roosters aren't doing their job, what do we do?
