Mrs.K, will a young rooster eventually take over an older flock? my 9 month old Wyandotte is very skittish around the ladies. he tends to avoid them. I'm worried because he's not maturing very fast. his comb is small and he isn't crowing yet.
I am looking for information on rooster behavior. I have a nine month old rooster (Rocky) that was introduced to a flock of 13 hens. He is a silver Wyandotte and the hens are also Wyandottes, two silvers and 11 reds. the hens are all about 2 years old.
I followed the advice on keeping him...
We have (had) 14 Wyandotte hens, 2 groups, that we inherited from a family member. The first group of 7 is 2 years old and the second of 7 is one year old. There were pecking problems when we got them and they are getting worse. One hen was pecked to death 2 days ago. They have more room now...
