I have this cockerel who is 10/11 weeks old now, he already is trying to mate one of the older hens (not the pullets his age but the proper old ones) is this normal at that age because apparently we have two other cockerels and they don’t mate with anyone or even crow like he does but he crows and has tried mating with one hen more than once now. The hen is not interested so she resists and he gets off and she pecks him and leaves. And no he doesn’t try again after she resists he just goes and does his own thing.
by the way the pecking has always been prominent with that hen she pecked all the cockerels and pullets when they were introduced to them for no reason ( I guess to show them she’s in charge ?) I don’t know why I added this part but I thought it could be important information.
Does anyone have any opinions on this?
