I separated a few hens and a roo from my main flock to a smaller coop and run. They have been together for 4 weeks. I pulled the roo out yesterday and put him back in the main flock, having met my breeding goal. I wanted to give my hens a break and left them in the smaller run
The roo I reintroduced back into the main flock got pretty beat up yesterday. He was all blooded up. So o pulled him back out and put him back with the ladies.
How do we prevent this roo, or any roo, from getting beat up when we reintroduced after breeding?
