Cockrell killed pullets and other Cockrells

[PegDemetris]

Much to my dismay, as I went out to my smaller coop this morning to feed and water, I found the carnage of a fight. I lost 2 cockrells and a pullet from the same brood. Standing over the carnage was a cockrell who began to beat up another pullet as I immediately removed him.

Do I cull him?

 

[Auntiejessi3]

Yep

 

[MysteryChicken]

Yes, cull him immediately. What breed is he?

He should definitely be culled. Sorr y this happened to you and your chooks. Are the survivors OK??

 

[Crazy Maizie]

Wow. Are you sure he killed them? Or was he just going to eat them because they were already dead?

I have 1 pullet that survived. When I tried to introduce her to the larger coop with slightly older pullets, they were extremely aggressive so I placed her back in with 3 Sebrights I have, that love everyone. She's fine now. I'll be keeping an eye on her and them.

Good luck with her.

He killed them. The last 2 days I noticed him becoming more aggressive. Didn't think it would come to this. Also seen him aggressively attacking the remaining pullet.
