i have 2 sussex roos that were hatched in mar. and have become a super problem in my flock. 1 was the more dominate roo until the other started to crow and now they fight, and beat up on my girls to the point where the hens have to be in pairs and all together to be out in the run so they can...
i have 2 speckled sussex cockrels that are about 4 months old they have some really nice colors but my older hens keep picking on them, so i have had to keep them seperate from the flock. i would like to see them go to a good home, they were raised as chicks together so they get along fine.
