So I have one rooster and three hens. two of them are almost five months old. One of them is very small though yet my rooster ( 6 months) is very big. In the last ten minutes he has gone absolutely crazy and tried to mate with all of them at least once. I was just wondering if it was a possibility he hurt my smaller hen because after she was freaking out, would not stop talking, and has been running away and hiding from him. I was just wondering because now they're all hiding from him, but I guess that's just because he's been after them constantly. Right? should I keep him away from them until he settles down? or do you think its a one day thing and he'll settle down a little tomorrow?He's usually very nice to them so I don't know why he is now chasing them down every few seconds!I cannot increase my hen to roo ratio until the spring so what should I do!? Will he calm down a little bit????? Please help because I do not want him being mean to my hens!
