Is it bad to keep my rooster seperated from my chickens for a few day?

He is constantly "mating" with them and it hurts them and he does it a lot. i want to give them a break. will it be bad to seperate them? will my rooster die of lonliness or depression? haha i must know!!!

Giving your hens a break is a good thing. Let them have several days or a couple weeks to recover and rest from his attentions. It won't hurt him.

keeping "romeo" separate from the hens for awhile won't hurt him.... They probably will enjoy the break too!
Just keep in mind that as he matures he will slow down and not be so "romantic" good luck...lilchick
