    Rooster over-mating hens

    All he does is crow and pace. Its kinda mean to lock him in his enclosure cause he can see his girls. On the other hand the hens feathers are starting to come in. Maybe in fourteen weeks he can meet our new hens. Maybe 16 hens is enough for him. Lol

    Coop and Run advice needed
