My rooster is growling and won’t get out of the egg laying box! The entire flock is going crazy!

She has about 8 more days before they are due.

Hopefully you marked the eggs she's been sitting on so you don't have a staggered hatch....and none of them were damaged in the fracas.

My last rooster didn’t behave like this

Is this a new male..if so, how new??

It's gotten to where I just ask Kong...."Is today the day your gonna show me what color egg you got, buddy?"

But seriously both my roos do this, they also will sometimes stand quietly watching over their hens while they're laying.

This is King with one of his girls, they were dead set on laying eggs on my workbench for a while, so I put a box there for them.

Eggs are marked and they’re all okay. We’ve had the male about 3 months. We rescued him.

Is this the first time he's done this?
Was he accepted by the flock and allowed to mate right away?
I assume the other male was gone before this one arrived.

Thank you! He’s a pretty good boy honestly.
