Fertility is down in the brown eggs, I guess because the roos are overbreeding the EE hens and not mounting anyone else. I know for sure that one australorp will fight them off.

I have the small pen... Do you think separating out the roos for a few weeks will help? Maybe they'll lose their place in the flock and be a little gentler when they go back?

Good morning everybody. Hope everyone is well.

Morning! Camping, couldn't hurt to separate the roosters. You could also do conjugal visit pens with one rooster and a couple of hens to have a better chance they are covered. But the EEs deserve a break!

Quote: Missed you this weekend! Just last night I was telling my hubs about "pants," so I was pretty excited to see it again this morning!

The roos aren't fighting, they're just overbreeding the hens. I would put the roos in a pen together, out of sight of the flock.

Or I could move the HRIR roo and his three hens, but I think the pen is a little too small for all of them. Of course I could block the holes under the fence and try them in the back yard by themselves...

Aww, not really.

I just happen to really enjoy taking pics and thought I'd share what I figured out!
