I have 8 hens that are almost 5 months old. None laying yet. I have 7 roosters that I am still trying to rid myself of before I am forced to throw 'em in the pot. I was going to keep the prettiest one but he has started latching on to the back of the neck of the other roosters and hens and ripping feathers out. The squawking and screeching that ensues is awful!! This mainly happens when there's food or treats being handed out.
Is this normal behavior? Will things only get worse? Will this lead to him flogging us?
