Aggressive rooster

[Ridgerunner]

Smart, I think I am going to cull him, the only issue with that though is that I have two other hens- are they going to be okay?

Or should I get more then cull him, it’s something that I don’t want to do but he is becoming way to much of a problem.

Chickens are flock animals. They usually do much better with other chickens around, though sometimes they can imprint on something else, maybe you, maybe another animal. I like to have at least three so if something happens to one they still have a buddy. If you add one, I'd add a minimum of two, that usually makes integration easier.

He is a problem. Solve your problem now. There is no need to delay. Those two will probably miss him a day or two and then get over it. Chickens evolved as prey animals. They tend to get over losing a flockmate pretty quickly. Dealing with him while trying to integrate new chickens just makes it more complicated.

Update-
So I have some news…. Jerry’s fate was sealed. He was attacked presumably by a coyote about a week ago. Now it is just the hens, now I do think it is possible Jerry survived the attack as he is very strong and aggressive, also seeing as there is a farm near my house and that I heard crowing just yesterday. More updates to come.
