We have 5 Rhode Island Reds hens and just recently introduced a White Crested Black Polish Bantam rooster. We kept him fenced off in the chicken run the first couple of days so they could get familiar with each other without harming one another. We just let him out today and they were ok for a little, but then the hens started pecking at his head. They pulled about half of his feathers out of his head before we could get him secluded again. What should we do? Thank you so much for your help!
