13 hens to 3 roostersTo stop the rooster, you will need to put him in a crate or his own coop.
How many hens do you have for the rooster?
How old is the rooster?
It may be that there are 3 roosters to 13 hens. All the hens get mounted by each rooster and when one rooster sees a hen being mounted, he then needs to mount her also. You ladies would find it nice to either have a break from all the roosters to heal or possibly getting rid of one or two roosters would help... it depends on the reason why you have 3 roosters.13 hens to 3 roosters

If you do get rid of two, there won’t be a need to keep the one separate from the hens. He won’t have another rooster to compete against.I only have 3 because that is what I hatched I mag going to get rid of two and keep one separate so I have when I want fertile eggs do you think the cockerel will be alright by itself he will probably go in with them once a month
