Ive got a rooster that I am sort of fond of. He is pretty cool with me, normally never getting aggressive. However, my daughters, who sometimes help out, he goes after every time. Any help as to why this is? Anything we can do about it?

Hendersonville area here.

If I capture him, justice will be served for my girls.

So, I have this beautiful guy here. He was supposed to be a Hen, but I ended up liking him, so he stayed with us. However, its like he has no interest in the girls, and they dont in him? How come they aren't producing any babies? Im more curious than anything. If he is going to crow all the...
