Probably helps that my males are very clear on who is above who. I only have one in each flock that does most of the breeding. In One flock the hens stay near the flock master because the lower males go after stragglers only and in the other my side males only occasionally breed when the flock master seems to permit them (usually it's the less favorite of his hens or the ones he can't reach to actually breed). My two flock masters are very calm birds that just don't over breedHow. I had three with my hens. Sold one, eventually separated all into a bachelor pad situation because my hens couldn't handle even one. (One was VERY hard on the hens, he did quite a bit of damage, got rid of him.) Will never make that mistake again. This is Banshee, she got it second worst of the flock:
