My question is, can training a rooster affect their relationship with other roosters?
For example, I have two roosters, and both are not lap chickens. I plan on changing this when I complete a new enclosed run, but I have an issue right now. The one pictured in my profile is a gentle giant and "bullied" by my second rooster, despite being nearly double in size. (By bullied, I mean Rooster 2 chases Rooster 1 around and tries to mount him.) I currently don't have hens to accompany them and stop the attempted mating, but will soon.
If I train Rooster 2 to be nicer to me, will that possibly make him friendlier with the other rooster?
I know it is probably a lost cause, but I'd like to hear what you think.
(The only reason I have to two together is because I'm afraid one will develop depression if I cull the other.)
