Not sure if anyone can answer this. I put a young rooster into the pen with 5 ladies. He was pecked but they settled and all seemed fine until bedtime. On the night he did not go in the coop. We did put him in the coop. We went in this morning and he was dead in the coop. No missing feathers not missing eyes or damage noted. Yes he was very young , my partner said he was crowing a week before so we tried . He was (as said) , dead in the house, the girls had laid 2 eggs by him. Any one know what I may have done wrong as i have another male and do not want them to kill him if he goes on. Its a new purpose build pen, please give me your views as I don't know what to do.
