BIG PROBLEM. Need help.

[spiritdance]

Okay, I just have to say this .... ALL my RIRs are big pushovers!!! I have a little red bantam cochin that runs them ragged and beats their time with the hens every chance he gets! I used to let him free range with the big girls 'cause I really didn't think he could reach to "do the deed" ... then I hatched out a whole batch of midget sexlinks with feathered legs .... Lil Red is now restricted to free ranging with the "eggs only" girls and coops with his bantam hens ... no way I'm letting that little lothario near my BR or Deli hens again!!! ... Anyway, my point is I wouldn't assume a short "vacation" will break your little guy's dominance OR boost that big guy's self-esteem ... bantam roos are just .... just .... testosterone rolled in feathers!!!!!!!
