    Hello from Pennsylvania and what to do about a hen pecked rooster!

    We have 30 hens and 1 rooster and the ladies seem to be ganging up on him. Under his comb he has scabs on both sides and fresh openings today. What ideas can anyone share with how to handle this situation? I guess this is where the phrase henpecked comes from. Thanks not at this very long.
