Hen or rooster??

[Carrell Cluckers]

Is this a hen or rooster meat chicken? The other roosters constantly pick on it. It has never crowed that we know of.

It looks like a boy because of the size of the wattles and comb. Roosters fight a lot so this rooster could be the least dominant rooster maybe.

So they are jumping on its back like they are mating with it. Do roosters Do this to other roosters or just to hens?

Roosters will occasionally mount other roosters. You may want to try and introduce your cornish x rooster to your hens for short supervised visits to see how he acts around them.

Boy.

That's what we thought but are second guessing now. We have 7 roosters (including this one) but it's the only one that gets attacked constantly. They won't leave it alone.

What breeds of hens? They should be too fast for him to mate them, unless they’re also cornish x.
