So I've got a Lavender Orpington cockerel who is currently 5 1/2 months old, going through that evil stage, and making quite the nuisance out of himself. He's done all of the following: ripped feathers out, chased a particular hen ruthlessly until she's too tired to fight, grabs them viciously by the head and attempts to hold them down, leaves their combs bleeding after his business is done, left a huge wound on Alex's neck that wraps all the way around, left a huge split down the middle of one of my Wyandotte's rose combs that bled into her nostrils, and completely terrorized almost every hen in our flock. So would you get rid of him, or keep him until full maturity? The only thing that keeps my from mentioning the possibility of freezer camp is the fact that he's great with people and children. Very respectful, non-aggressive, and calm. And I also have him separated from the rest at the moment while we make a decision. Thanks in advance!
