I have a rir rooster maybe a year old and he's nuts. I can't put him with my hens cause he flogs them pecks them all but kills them. I know some of that's to be expected but my goodness that's a little much I think. What do I do? Should I replace him or is there something I can do?
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided join our flock. Sometimes RIR roosters can be very aggressive. I've had a few of those myself. When a rooster has that kind of aggression, it's time to cull him from your flock. Not only do you not want to risk him injuring someone, but you don't want to breed that kind of aggression into your flock. If you need a rooster for breeding, there are loads of unwanted roosters out there waiting to be re-homed and you can always pick up a good one. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Cheers.
 
Well that's a bummer I like him but oh well. I do wanna breed my hens tho. Thank you
 
Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! X2 what Michael said, you don't want a rooster like that in your flock or breeding program.
 
Never a good reason to keep a bad roo. If he severely injures or kills your hens, you won' t have any chicks. Michael is right, so many roosters needing homes - you could have your pick of some good ones. A nasty roo should be swimming in a pot of soup with noodles.
 
Well looks like the wife's gonna be layin out some dumplings tomorrow
