Having To sell Roosters

[TheTwoRoos]

The white Guy is showing some shady attitude towards me,but I have been chasing him (Me and Zeus did that thsi morning,it's our chore).He gets spots and The RIR I chase the white guy,so now he is avoiding me so don't thin the next home should have any problems with him,I hope.

Also,the Orange brother of Spots got docked down (I guess him and Spots had it out the big brother won),I noticed Zeus rarely EVER chances,or grabs Orange Guy,he can be chasing a hen or even raping one and Zeus runs over there and does nothing but maybe peck Orange Guys hand,and if spots nearby,Spots suffers the Punishment for Orange Guy,don't get it...

Were getting rid of the Three BOYS!Their gonna all 3 go someone said she would take all 3,and she doesn't ki or eat her chickens,but on the other hand,she only has 15 hens,so I might wanna warn her.But she has other coops for separation etc.

I've seen the same thing, with them just standing by. I think it might still be a learning curve or something, idk.

I don't quite equate it to rape even though that's what it seems like to us. Did you know that roosters don't actually have a penis? It is more like rubbing belly buttons together. I mean at least initially the girls yell and complain, yes. He isn't even taking her out to dinner. But before long they better learn their manners or it's off to winter camp. And some of mu girls turn around and kick that cockerel tail end once he gets off of her.

Their gone!But the lady had two roos,my RIR had it out with him and poor RIR lost,the two young boys were busy raping and letting the girls know "were the new boss now buddy).But,after giving here roo's she gave us 4 cochins,and she has tons of hens so think there shouldn't be any over mating (About 40 maybe).

Unfortunately.... did you quarantine?! Hope you don't end up with any unexpected illness from the trade. 30 days and 100 feet of total separation is the suggestion I am familiar with.


Mine aren't gone, but the stag pen is almost done. However they are fighting, which was slightly amusing until I realized this is no game for them. And I saw some blood, not a lot. But enough to let me know we may have bigger issues if I don't hurry up and do something.

Hope things smooth out for ya.

She didn't want quarantine, had us immediately put them in with hers.

The chicks aren't old enough to go out yet,but didn't have too much contact with the older ones,defiantly dont look sick and don't have nay parasites.They were in a house their whole little life (Which isn't very much.)

Yards much peaceful without a bunch of roo's around.

We ended up with too many roosters.And now we have to sell most of them.The flock is under tons of stress because of the younger guys, and there is no reall order.About 5 or 6 hens arent willing to give their spot up to some lousy teens,so everything is kinda in Kaos right now.We have 5 rroos.Zeus the oldest and probably will end up staying,big red a RIr who is about 6 and half months im thinking,3 brothers who are I think either 4 and hlf or 5 months.The most dominate out of that trio is the Nh Pedro,Spots the black sexlink (I like him betterbthen the oyher 3 youngsters), and a white one.
They do tend to rape but thats just teenage behaviour,Zeus spents probably 85% of his time chasing them off,But there even things about him I dislike.He always is after this certain black hen and occasionally a few other hens who he just completely dislikes,so im defiantly considering sending him off,besides that he is a sweet guy,never has ever showed aggression towards once.

So what do you guys think?I was told to only keep one but i think two could get along

We have 2 roos... They get along fine They're both bantams though, so that MAY make a difference
