    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    I want the Frizzle cockerel, he and I are forming a good bond and he's just trying to figure things out. So far, he's a keeper.

    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    We have plenty of space, waterers, and feeders. You're absolutely right my big roo doesn't care about the younger ones really and the two roos don't really interact. Your right, I'm just going to grit my teeth and let the maturing process happen. Thank you.

    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    They all free range together and are in the same coop at night. My older (just 2 years old) rooster just stays with the older hens and hasn't really intervened into the pullet cockerel drama. The bantam cockerel has only harrassed the standard pullets and some bantam pullets. He hasn't gone...

    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    I could put an older girl in there with him, couldn't I? She'd teach him how this all works, and the manners he needs? All my older girls are Standard hens will that be an issue since he's a Bantam cockerel? Should I rotate the girls (5 hens) and let them all have a chance to teach him or just...

    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    The only thing I can do is put him in a run that's separate from the girls, but he'll be able to see everyone. So I can do that and keep him in there so he can learn some manners. Once the girls begin to lay and he's been in etiquette school for awhile it should help with this behavior? I'll try...

    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    My Bantam Frizzle Cochin cockerel has a larger flock than my Dark Brahma Rooster. The DB roo has 5 hens and the BFC has 19 hens. Will the DB mate with the hens from the other flock and vice versa? When will both flocks become completely integrated? They've been together for 2 months, but still...

    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    How do I get him to stop doing this? He just recently started crowing in the coop in the mornings before I let all the chickens out. My 2 year old rooster crows, and then my Bantam Frizzle Cochin cockerel echos his crow while in the coop. Once I let them all out for the day to free range my...

    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    He's only going after the standard pullets in the group of chickens he was integrating into the older flock with - all 12 weeks old. He hasn't messed with any of the 2 year old hens. This morning I saw him tidbitting for his girls, and not one came to see what he found. I don't know if it's due...

    What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

    I have a Dark Brahma Roo that's the head of my flock of 6 hens. I've recently integrated a larger group of 14 pullets (5 Bantams & 9 Standards) and a cockerel (Bantam) to my flock and they are 12 weeks old this week. The new cockerel is a Bantam Frizzle Cochin and he crows along with my Brahma...
