Am I a bad person?

[Bawkadoodledoo]

i'm doing this partly because i don't want the hens stepped on by the hulking roos and partly because i don't want them mating before i can stop it in the morn.

I think she means you don't need a light.

Bawk, the roos will most likely be more aggressive after being crammed in a milk crate.

I do apologize that I haven't read all 304,000 posts, so I have no idea what you are talking about. If you had a fire, I am very sorry. I was simply pointing out the only way a rooster would mate is if he has light...otherwise, they sleep at night. Sorry for any confusion.

Time to get rid of roos. I've never seen your other thread either. But roos do not mate in the dark at night. It is day problems you have to deal with.

most of the roos that i do not hold dear are scheduled to be roasted in a few weeks.

If you are going to eat them in a few weeks why do you care if they are in a milk crate at night?

 

[Bawkadoodledoo]

I care because when i lock them up at night, the hens are fine. When I open the door in the morn. the hens combs are slightly bloodied. this has not happened since i started putting the roos in time-out.

Bawk, How many roos vs hens do you have? I had a bachelor pen at one point when I felt my ratio was off. Not sure if that would be possible for you. I live on a farm where I have access to other buildings, and am able to divide them up as I choose. If that isnt the case for you I would remedy the numbers problem. My bachelor roos got along quite well when they were alone. It is only when women are introduced that the fellas get all wonkylike.....
