Hello all,
I have 2 Plymouth Rock pullets and a PR rooster in same coop as 3 Gold Laced Wyandotte hens and a GLW rooster.
The GLW hens have been laying for about 3 months but the PR pullets haven't started laying and are a similar age.
The PR rooster is huge and crowing but i haven't seen him mount any hens/pullets.
The GLW rooster has a very developed comb, shiny and colourful feathers, looks very healthy but hasn't started crowing.
So my problem is a rooster that doesn't crow/work and pullets that haven't started laying.
Do I try separating hens/pullets from roosters for a few days?
Do I separate breeds so roosters aren't in together? (I've never witnessed any fighting but the purpose being to get them to start mating?!)
Thanks.
P.s. its 1 month off spring here in Tas, Australia
