Chirping
My backyard flock consists of one silkie rooster (same size as a standard hen when counting the fluff ), and 10 laying hens about 2.5 years old. When my rooster mounts them, he tends to "slip" on their backs towards the hen's neck. This makes it so that he cannot "do the deed."
This spring, 14 eggs were set under a broody hen and none of them hatched, although Rarity was a very dedicated mother. We later gave her 8 chicks from the feed store who are now all fine pullets.
Is there a way to fix this? He used to be able to do everything fine and now not so much.
