    Rooster with sore on comb

    Hi All, I need some reassurance on my rooster. About 2 weeks ago my rooster had what appeared to be a pecking sore on his comb from likely bothering one of the hens. Cleaned it up, applied bacitracin until healed and thought it was a done deal. Now please note; he was vaccinated for fowl pox...

    Established flock stressed by new additions

    Oh perfect! Good idea, that’s exactly what he needs. His own bachelor pad because he is so full of himself right now. Doing his what I call “shoulder lean dancing” even to my border collie lol 🤦‍♀️

    Established flock stressed by new additions

    That’s what I was leaning towards. Should I let him roost with them at night still or no?

    I have 4 barred rock hens (heritage size) that are 2years old, then I have three 10 week old pullets and one roo (bantams).
