Hi y'all. My laptop is down and I'm doing this using my phone and I can't find where I can post properly, so of you will indulge me for a moment, I have a question about breeding and behaviors. I have 2 roos and 10 hens for 3 weeks now. They are all glossy and happy.the RIR roo is the main man and is the perfect protector of his flock. The other one is a Cuckoo Maran therefore black and white. He was given to me when I bought the others bc be was being picked on at home. Still has no tail feathers. So he's been walking around like one of the hens until lately. So far hes the one who crowd and They both are mating the hens equally. I have seem them spat briefly over who gets whom but nothing major. So is it possible the tables have turned or do you think they can coexist with 10 hens between them? They have 2 acres around their large and safe hen house to wander all day so they aren't cooped up together except for nighttime.in fact,they seem to keep together when they all split up while foraging.
