    Is the 'famous grouse' a little hen?

    I think it is, he is doing it to most of the girls in the flock especially my sussex. He has even done his little dance to me! I'm unsure if I should keep him as he is terrorising the girls. so, is there any way I can stop him? or will this occur until he gets to old to care (like my husband! )

    My own stupidity on the matter.

    I am very stupid at times. My top coop always gets flooded. So I put in a basic drainage system. I move all the girls down garden to the bigger coop until the water has drained from the top. Bottom coop never gets flooded. I have NEVER even thought of sand. Where I live in the UK we suffer...
