Our Mixed Flock Journey!

[drstratton]

Ooo those roosters!
I feel like one rooster is too many... I never really wanted one cuz I didn’t want to deal with the shenanigans... which I know is perfectly natural.. I just don’t like it! And he has his favorite hen who is Sunny.. she is from my oldest group and she does NOT appreciate his fondness! She literally spends the entire day inside the coop and mostly hiding in the roosting area! I don’t think that is anyway for her to have to live! I don’t know what to do though cuz I do like him but I think I liked my flock better before I had a rooster...

I know...I think we are thinning them down to 3(not an easy decision, but for the best) and eventually I will only have 2 after I give one of the Marans to my friend!

Is there anyway to segregate him for part of the day so Sunny can enjoy some ladies time?

Actually there is and I was thinking about trying that.. I guess I should try.. I was just wondering how well that’s gonna go over

I wonder if you could let some of the girls stay with him when he is separated, it would probably be much less stressful! You could rotate his Harem...

Sorry I was missing for a few days. It was hard to keep up as work just exploded. Bad timing all around. I'm glad they have her moving already. That's very good.

Here we are with the written word again and I don't even know if I'm interpreting your apology correctly (because, well, you know, the written word )...which is not needed. I wasn't saying it like I already knew that, I was sharing to just let you know that was what's been going on! I appreciate your time, information and caring very much!

If he has other girls with him I would bet he's ok. No way to be certain until you try it.

SHRA...You and I are of the same mind on this... Sorry, I couldn't resist and I would love to have your girls featured on my thread!

Thank you Bob!

I will definitely be looking closer if I see any of my other girls limping...I've just been too distracted lately!

You have a lot on your mind. I would agree that a good once over might be in order as soon as reasonably possibly.

I would definitely leave some of the ladies with him. Otherwise he will get very stressed and aggressive. He has to have some that like him.

I was just apologizing for not being present, not for anything else. All me. I feel like I let some people down the last few days, you and WhoDat specifically. I can't believe that I disappeared as all this went down.

Before I post my tax, any ladies in particular that you would like featured?

You definitely haven't let me down! I haven't even been on your thread in I don't know how long, but I will be back...consider yourself forewarned...
