Sorry about that! :smack It was another thread where you described them escorting the hens to the nest... and that was kinda my interpretation. :oops: I mostly meant to invite you to the conversation. :thumbsup You crack me up! Thanks for the fun hearted poke and giggle. :gig

Yes I have seen roosters actively be mean to a hen that wouldn't mate. I agree that what goes on in back yards and smaller pastures like mine is not quite the norm or completely natural. :thumbsup And of course any cock I give access to the hens quickly sets up a harem and some ladies...

Interesting memory... I bought a trio and kept them separate from the rest of my ladies. All my roosters are in a stag pen, next door to the hens. One of the hens in the trio started moving towards all the other hens to become part of the larger flock EVEN though there was NO rooster residing...

Inevitably the pullets will have a mini molt or somehow late bloomers. :hmm I think I'm gonna head to lock down for a couple days though and see if I have someone hiding nests! :smack

I agree that they should... but tell that to my free loaders. :he

Hi, welcome to BYC! :frow A rooster of your own will probably not fix your issue... but a fence can go a LONG way. ;) :fl
