I have a trio of hens, blue, black, splash, and two unrelated cockerels, I think they are 7 months old. A blue and a black. I personally think the black rooser is of better quality, larger, rounder....but so mean and rough on the ladies. He hasn't attacked me but has gone after others. I had the bug black roo in with 11 hens and he still was ripping them apart.
My blue rooster is not nearly as handsome and smaller but is very gentle and friendly.
Do I cull my black rooster or keep him? Right now I have him separated by himself (he killed another rooster last week), but is very agitated and paces back and forth.
