We have 12 chickens snd were intending on 11 hens and 1 rooster but ended up with 10 hens and 2 roosters, They have all been handled since hatching. We knew that one of roosters would have to go at some point but now both of the gentleman have become quite aggressive towards me as well as to the hens. They are 5 months old and buff Orpingtons. They free range during the day and the roosters will follow me around to harass me and the hens would prefer to stay out all night rather than pass by the roosters. I usually carry them in one by one.
so my question is this - would one rooster tend to be less aggressive overall if he was the sole male with 10 hens?
