Cockrell killed pullets and other Cockrells

[Chickassan]

Some of them are just monsters, but this is true for all species.
Shame it really is.: (

When you have roosters, always have a plan B. Now is the time for plan B. Not all roosters work out. In fact, a lot of them don't.

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?

Yes. Immediately.

The last 2 days I noticed him becoming more aggressive.

It would be nice to see this cockerel and where he was housed with 2 other cockerels and couple of pullets.
Age too...

Their age was 4 months. They were housed in a smaller coop, designed to house 4 to 5 full size chickens with an open run. A previous clutch sill has no problems as all the roos are almost full grown and housed together in a smaller coop than the one he was in.

 

[PegDemetris]

Yes. Immediately.

This is a picture of the cockrell. Along with other photos of the housing for them.

Not the cockrell. But the coop.

Did you cull him?

Yes. I gave our first clutch of cockrells to a friend and they are all doing fine without any fighting at all.
