This spring we decided to get some chickens. I did some research and we decided on Buff Orpington. We have 4 hens and one rooster. They are now about 6 months old and we love them. They are so gentle and beautiful.
I only have a problem with the rooster and I would love to get some help!
He is the same age as the hens, but his comb is not nearly as developed like the ones from the hens and he is not crowing!
Since we got them they always sleep together but since one week the rooster sleeps in a different corner.
I have them running around our property and during the last week he is always by himself. One chicken used to be with him all the time but now he is always by himself. It almost seems like they do not want to have him around.
Is that normal? He is such a sweet guy and I would love him to be part of the group.
I never had chickens before, so maybe you have some advise or suggestions for me!
Thanks so much!
