I have 4 hens and 3 of the 4 are trying to mate with a single hen

[The CluckStar]

A few days ago we discovered that 3/4 hens are trying to be a rooster. So that means that all of them are trying to mate with my only other hen, and since she has been very scared of them. Not just that but they usually attempt it every time they get close.

I would really like to stop this but the only thing I can think of is separation. I dont have a problem with that I just would like to attempt something else before that.

All advice is appreciated!

Trying to be a rooster?
Photos of the hens please.
You have a few males in there.
Separate them. Three males is too much for one hen.

Can you please post pics then we can see what they look like?

You can try the see but not touch method and reintroduce them all in a week or so. I would remove the 3 and put those together to introduce to the single one that’s being singled out.

Welcome to BYC!
I agree that you need to post pictures of these three birds. I find it highly unlikely that you have three hens "trying to be roosters" and more likely have three cockerels and one poor abused pullet.

Can you get pics of each one individually because we need to see them and not from a far distance?

Thank you
