A BIG hello to everybody!! Im JNicoleS and am to the forum as well as new to being a Mama Hen.

Pecking and feather plucking between males

  • Keep one male. Eliminate the current top because of plucking. Keep rooster #2 (bald rear n all)

  • Is this aggressive way of establishing dominance best elliminated from future flock breeding?

Hello and welcome to BYC. Rehoming the cockerel in question would be a good idea, imo although that type of behaviour may be more space-related than aggression.

Do be aware that no-crow collars only really reduce volume by approx 50% and from my experience that doesn't cut the mustard at 4 am in a quiet neighbourhood.

Good luck
