I was hoping he is trying to train the hens instead of having gender issues! I do have a dilemma though- He is the roo from the pic above (Leonard). He is best with the gals as far as foraging and alerts but I don't really care for the barred coloring of his breast feathers. As he is a beautiful bird I just prefer the solid colors of the other. I wanted to breed the other roo (Frank) with my gals but he has become obsessed with one gal only and wants to breed her constantly throughout the day. I know that isn't good for her and she is a nervous wreck so what should I do?
I already have a 1 1/2 yr old cock and 5 hens free ranging on 15 acres but was wondering if I could get "Frank" some new gals to free range with or should I just consider getting rid of a roo? Hubby doesn't want to build another coop so that I could move him and a few gals over. Not sure what to do but know that I want them all happy.
Any ideas or thoughts welcome..
Maybe he is just trying to train the girls but I dunno! Hope everyone is well and enjoying summer. I dread to see time change as I will lose a lot of time with the chickens.
