Hi! So I’m having a bit of a problem here, thought it would settle with time but it doesn’t... I have 10 hens and 3 roosters. Yes, I know, it’s too many roosters, but they are sweethearts, and they are awesome with my girls. But the bottom roo on the pecking order, Popcorn, is always trying to mate. He is pretty big (Frizzle EE) for my hens, but they stand up for themselves and refuse to be mounted. Except Carla. She is really small, and is TERRORIZED by Popcorn. Whenever she sees him, she freaks out, screams, flies and runs away. But obviously, Popcorn hears that and goes after her and mates her. He mates her multiple times before letting her go. She has some broken feathers on her back, but not so bad. I don’t really want to give him away (I will not cull him), but if I have to...
Do you think they’ll get used to each other? Popcorn is not really doing anything wrong...
