Hi BYC community. I have a small flock of 12 birds, 3 of which are roosters. So that’s 3 girls for every boy. I know this is problematic. They are all 10 months old now and lately the boys have been dive bomb attacking the girls the closer it gets to bed time. They will even wait for a girl inside the coop and nab her as she’s entering the coop for the night. To combat this I’ve been locking the boys outside of the run until all the girls are safely in and on roosts for the night.
My question is, am I going to cause any issues by doing this? So far the girls are more relaxed and less panicked at night and the boys are getting used to the new routine and not stressing.
All wisdom welcomed! Thanks!
