I would like to ask for a favour - advice, please. We have a very young cockerel, only 5 months old, but very mature and active, vocally and mating.
He is friendly with us, but he is not a gentleman to girls. And he is particularly aggressive towards one of the girls. She was injured, I thought it was an accident, and now I'm not sure. After taking care of her for three weeks, I don't want to take any chances. I tried to get her back to the flock, she's fine with all the girls, but I have to have him separated. So it's either him or her with the flock. And I would love to have all the flock together and safe again. So I ordered pinless peepers, and I'm not sure he couldn't eat, so I cut down the size the peepers. He took some food from my hand, but he is still struggling (it's the first day and only a few hours). I am wondering if he will learn to live with those peepers? Does anyone have any experience, or better advice, please?
