Can roos start mating at 10 weeks? These guys are 10 weeks and have kicked Little Foot out of the nest for the past two nights. Today I put her in the nest box and closed the door to the room they’re all kept in. When I heard her yelling I peeked in there and saw one of the boys over top of her and squatting down. Like he was mating with her but Little Foot is super tiny. Then he noticed me and just pecked her a couple times. I hate to remove her from her friends because she’s so lonely but I obviously can’t leave them alone. But was he mating? Should I remove the boys from the mommy hen too?
