Mating

[Mrs. K]

Yeah, as much as you can love roosters, they can be hard to live with for all sorts of reasons. But your set up is going to get worse not better unless you pull those boys, and give the girls some peace.

In this case if you want to keep the boys, give them their own set up and house them away from the girls. They don't need to be living together.

Sorry, we don't mean to be harsh. Chickens are flock animals. Each rooster needs his own "flock" of hens. He is designed by nature to protect and fertilize a flock of about 10 hens. If he only has two hens, he will mate with them over and over again, and can do them some serious harm. Before long your hens will not only lose their feathers, they will lose skin on their backs, their heads and under and around their wings. They will be miserable. This is not fair to them. Especially if you have TWO roosters doing this to them! You must remove the roosters, or, as another poster suggested, expand your holdings and get 15 or so more hens. We are just trying to educate you, so you can protect your poor hens.
