I have a REALLY Nice 1 year old roo (Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded D'Uccle). His only problem is he is over pecking the hens heads. I only have 3 hens and 2 young pullets. The 3 hens are becoming bald from his attentions. They submit but still get head beat. I fear for the young pullets (7wks).
How old before roos become gentlemen? He is very good in every other way, just too aggressive when mating.
Do I need to rehome him to a bigger flock? I can't increase my numbers because of limited space.
