Last Saturday I got rid of our 3 roosters that were about 3 months old. I kept the 3 pullets the same age. The roosters were always the agressive ones and picked on the younger chicks ( 8 young pullets about 6 weeks old). All the chickens freerange together and I never had trouble with the pullets, only the roosters. Now the older hens are picking on the younger ones and doing it agressively. I have had to seperate them in the yard for the last 2 days. Did I upset the balance by getting rid of the roosters? Will the older hens quit messing with the younger ones once they all reach the same size? Any insight will be appreciated.
