I have a very active 4 month old cockerel who has been mounting my 4 month old pullets . The pullets are not laying eggs yet and I’m worried if this could cause health issues. We have some older hens about 23 weeks old who we are trying to integrate into our flock. Who are almost laying age. However when we let them all free range together our roo jumped on one of the new older pullets and gave her quite a scare. Once the other chickens are members of the flock we can place the roo in the smaller coop to give them a rest. Im just worried that he is too hard on the pullets in general and didn’t know what health concerns I need to be aware of. Thanks for your help. This is our first go with chickens and we got this roo as chick by mistake.
