We live in North Central Florida
We have 5 hens and a Rooster and as of late I notice 3 of the hens are showing signs of being pecked.
They have a large pen and coop and free range 4 to 5 hours a day.
Could the rooster be doing this?
The rooster is a Rhode Island Red and is very aggressive.
And...
This is our first experience with chickens on our new place.
We have 5 hens and 1 rooster and they are now 16 weeks old, we would like to let them out to roam our 2 acres but are not sure they will come back to their coop at night.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated
