Aggressive rooster/ integration timing question

[chickens really]

I understood your question as others seem not too?

Yes, time to get rid of the Rooster in my opinion being he is aggressive...Let all the birds together...They will argue and peck each other but they will figure it out...

Enjoy the birds.....

No, Roosters do not keep a peaceful balance to a flock.....They Breed and protect....Which ever comes first.?? They over breed hens and are in my opinion a pest unless you plan to raise chickens? I personally never kept a Rooster this year and want to enjoy my hens with all their feathers and no Rooster to attack me.

Hey folks, thanks for your advice. I'll let him in tomorrow and see how he does. Hopefully he will be a very happy guy.

to the original poster: I like to do a change all at once, so I would pull the rooster just before I opened the pen. A couple of hideouts will do more for this going well than a rooster.

Ok thank you. Can't say I am looking forward to tommorow, however mr sizzles gotta go!! I think I will separate him first then while the girls are free ranging my husband will deal with mr sizzler!

My two hens have been very upset recently, could it be because my rooster recently started crowing and becoming aggressive? I checked their water and food supply and everything seems to be just fine. I just don't know why they are acting timid and upset.
Ps I am looking to re home my rooster, do you think this will help them?

Yes, its a good chance he is upsetting them, especially if you have one adolescent rooster and only 2 hens the same age.
If you had a larger flock it might be ok. In this case, my advice is separate them and re-home or cook the rooster.
