Hey everyone we have 18 large breed hens and 1 large breed buff orpington rooster.
Our rooster has free will to mate with all 18 hens he's is our only rooster.
But I can't believe it a good portion of our hens are losing their feathers due to over mating.
My wife thinks we should put aprons on the hens to protect them.
That's sounds like a pain.
How much less damage does a Bantam rooster do to large fowl hens?
If I separate our buff orpington rooster from the hens how long would it take for the hens feathers to grow back?
