Hello! My husband and I have been raising chickens for almost a year now. We have 9 hens and one Roo. Recently he has become very aggressive. He has pecked me so bad that it drew blood, and he has attacked my son, dogs, and my husband. We always put him in his place, and we have no intention of getting rid of him as of now. However, we are in the process of selecting some new chicks for our Spring order, and we are discussing getting another Roo. My question is, will two roos, one being aggressive, be able to co-exist in the same coop and run? I don't want to try and introduce a young Roo only to have him be hurt or even killed by my aggressive Roo. Any advice? Also, my gut tells me to get rid of this aggressive Roo, but my husband seems to think they are "all like that." Does anyone have any gentle, non-aggressive Roos? What are their breeds? Thanks in advance!
