I love the details in here!!
I thought I was one of a few crazy rooster and hen Moms. I have 6 roosters, 3 ducks and and 16 hens. I spent alot of time trying to mediate fighting. there have been a few with bloodshed so I do run out if I think it's getting out of hand. But they free range almost all day. the roosters more aggressive behavior early morning and night always led me to believe either 1) he's trying to mate to further his gene pool 2) early morning and dusk and predator times and they genetically have to be more aggressive should they need to ward them off during this time
unfortunately most I know tend to cull their roosters but I don't think they took the time to appreciate their worth, watch their gifting traits to the girls, and just realize they want to do their protective jobs in their short time in this earth.
I love my boys! thanks for sharing things even I didn't know even after spending hours each day with them.
