Lonely Roo

[WallyBirdie]

I have one turken roo that is an older boy. I kept him with his ladies without a problem for years. He was good to them but got too dominant/aggressive around the other chickens.
He is very docile around people.
Sadly, the last of his gals has passed and the old boy is alone.
Should I try to work with his behavior and integrate him into the rest of the flock?
Should I get him more hens?

Please do not suggest making my bird dinner.

I’d try to get him some older hens, they’ll be able to set him straight compared to pullets. Failing that, maybe he’d get on with a submissive roo?

I can look into that.
Older girls sometimes need a new home. I also have a couple docile roos.
It was awful to find my girl had passed, and I can only imagine how devastated my boy must be.

Yeah it’s real sad ): When you think of how all flocks are families and they mourn when one passes. Give him lots of treats and cuddles
