I have a almost 7 month old rooster . His breed is Silkie / Polish mix .
I didn't have any issues with him with the hens until a broody hatched out his chicks now he wants to fight with the broody ( she's fenced for see no touch in coop with her month old chicks) he is going after 2 other hens now since the broody returned to coop . He is not letting the hens eat or tid-bitting for them . One of my hens died of mysterious circumstances I don't know if he got too rough with her or she died from stress related issue . I had dogs running them in their coop ( stupid loose dogs) my dilemma is do I wait and see if it's too much change or because of stress or do I go ahead and rehome him with full disclosure . Is he just too big for my hens and he is frustrated. Or is he just an As@#&$+ cockerel that's only going to get worse
He isn't people agressive .
Also my hens are Silkie and a dark brahma bantam
