I would really like a Royal tom to free range, is he safe? I also free range a nasty Gold Laced Wyndott rooster, will he beat him up? I don't feel right caging up large birds, but I also have to keep them safe. Is it feasible to run roosters with a tom turkey?
I have a large Roo that is a complete jerk!! He hears the back door open he comes to see you, he hears you pull in the driveway, he comes to see you, You go to the horse barn, he comes to see you, you are minding your own business weeding, he comes to see you. He goes to great lengths to attack...
My Roo has two hens, they free range. The hens have bare backs from the Roo. If I add more hens will he be less "attracted" to the original hens? I don't want my hens to be bare.
I had Bantams when I was a child, so I bought 10 straight run, not knowing the breeds either. I ended up with more roosters than hens. I have 2 small hens that are quite clever. I collect the little eggs and feed them to my barn cats. The little gold hen always tried to peck me and not move off...
We picked up this rooster as a chick, and he turned into something that I don't know. Not very chicky saavy. anyways he is a big beautiful bird and I don't know what he is. He is in with my barred rock hens. can't, or don't know how to post a pic.
