Haha! He does doesn’t he!? Actually I believe he has conquered Ruby! But I think he is really stressing out Sunny and Claire (yes, that’s a spoof) .... they are molting too... he is really chasing them down and poor Claire runs a SCREAMS for her life!! So he and I had it out this morning :rant.... not sure if that’s what you’re supposed to do but that’s what I do! Cuz I DO NOT like him stressing them out!! If that's the case.. then I don’t want a rooster!!

Good morning! He's the man! They will work it out & the girls will quit screaming, I think...lol! We really need to thin our roosters, my poor girls don't stand a chance...I keep saying that, but something else always comes up.

I’d like some advice... do I keep him or rehome? Claire won’t even go in the coop at night ... I had to catch her and put her in.. I think she is trying to stay away! And none of them look too happy about him.. even the ones that ultimately give in... I’m wondering if it’s just too stressful on them? Plus, didn’t some of you say that they are very uncomfortable or even in pain when they are molting? And now they are having to endure his attacks :rolleyes:.... One minute I think things are going good then the next he’s chasing them like a maniac! All of this may be completely normal... but it’s not normal for my flock!

Well, the difference is.. mine have never had to deal with a rooster.. so they are older ladies who are used to a very kind and gentle “rooster”.. me! So they are not too happy with this situation! Or his sneak attacks!

I can understand that...poor girls! They just need to gang up & trounce him properly! A rooster definitely adds a different mix into a flock! Hopefully with your guidance, he'll figure it out. I also chase mine away from the girls sometimes!
