Ok. I was thinking about genetic aggression. Of course, I live in Texas and in the town I am in, we are only allowed 8 chickens with 1 rooster so we are going to get rid of chickens anyway. We have been meaning to build a coop. but we just don't have the time or the right weather.
Sorry. Just saw this.
He usually fights them so they can't eat. We have to take the roosters out of the coop so the hens can eat. There are 2 sets of 4 chickens (8 chickens) and 1 set is older than the other. Would that cause a problem?
Thank you for all of the responses!
There are 2 roosters and 6 hens. We still have them inside in a small little fold-out that's 6ft x 2ft. We are going to build their coop this month and move them out. There is one food source and one water source. What do you think would be causing them...
Heyyy! It's been a while but the chickens have grown up! I was just wondering if it is normal for roosters to be pinning other chickens' necks down to the floor or if they stop the other chickens from eating so they can eat first. (they haven't learned the pecking order yet)
