OK, so i have 18 chickens. 17 hens and one rooster, they are all 15 weeks old and 1 day. Today i brought my rooster outside with me just to hang out and i noticed that ALL his main tail feathers are out
And that his butt looked irritated, so he wanted to go in after a little bit and that was that. So then my brother and dad finished putting up the first "layer" of hardware cloth on our run, (that is almost done). and so we lat them all out and some of the girls were actually picking at his butt. And it looked red and irritated. So I told them i was going to come on here after and see what was going on (which i did, obviously). So i went up to the house to fill up the water bucket (cause they needed more water). When i came down my dad said he put Andre (my rooster) inside because they were picking at it and bugging him. Also they said they looked at it , and there was a little bit of blood on it
Im soooo worried, i LOVE HIM TO DEATH, and we r so close ans i just don't want anything to happen to him
Also lately he has been grabbing some of the hens by the neck and "pulling" their heads down to the ground. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! What is wrong???? what can i do??? Should i quarantine him????
Thanks so much
