Cuddles is trouble

[Pinkaboo]

My lovely sweet little maran cockerel cuddles is causing chaos, he always seems to be the ring leader of any trouble. Now he's trying to mate( succeeding actually) with my little pekin hen and her pekin cockerel isn't best pleased either
If I can get to cuddles in time he gets a smack bum and stops, but I can't be there all the time, he has three maran hens to mate with and he's only four months so shouldn't even be thinking about it!
I know its animal behaviour but its not fair on the pekin so how do I stop him?

Is it possible to get more hens for him? Wow, you are the first person on this forum (that I know of) that has a Pekin that's NOT a duck Pekin!

Sounds like he needs more ladies. Watch out so he doesn't hurt the Peking.

Wish ya the best.

Oh yes that could be confusing! Now I'd be really worried if he was trying to mate with a duck

I have 3 maran roos and 3 hens
Then my 3 Pekins 2 hens 1 roo
When the Pekins mate they are fine

Cuddles is the only maran roo trying to mate and he's pulling the back feathers while mating
The pekin roo doesn't do this

I'm hoping eventually to have 1 maran roo and 8 hens
And I can't see cuddles being the roo!

Hopefully cuddles will get a little softer with the hens and most young cockerels do better with time. As do the pullets. Hens tend to be the ones who make things smoother when it comes to the mating rituals.,

Yes I originally thought you had a duck.
