Heidis Happy Hens
In the Brooder
Hi new friends! I'm told it is pretty normal for my rooster (Joe Cocker) to bite at the head/neck when mating, but my roo has no swag with the girls yet and is stripping their heads almost bald and sometimes injuring them. He has a few favorites of the 14 hens, and I'd like to discourage it. I'm wondering if there is something that tastes nasty to them, but isn't really dark or blue. When I tried using that on one of the hens, the roo freaked out and pecked at the blue spot. Any suggestions?
