I have 4 white roosters, probably White Leghorns, that are total terrors and hurting my flock. I catch them standing on top of Fatty, my Cornish X, or beating up my Seabright bantams.
Tonight was the last straw when one came after and jumped on me while I was busy catching another one and showing him who's boss. I locked the 4 outside of the coop, but I'm having a hard time feeling like I'm doing the right thing. I know they can't hurt the others when they're outside, but I feed sad that they're separated from the rest, and I'm just concerned they'll get hurt. But at the same time, I feel like I'm protecting the flock from "bullies."
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I don't have any other place to put them aside from a plastic dog kennel.
