Thanks so much. I have a area I should be able to easily enclose for him...

One grown rooster in the smaller coup with the 5 hens... yes they are close within 5 or 6 feet. What is the risk of leaving them as they are? Is the best option to take the rooster out of he picture?

10 months Is this molting or something else??
