In the Brooder
I had two brother roosters, both lavender ameraucanas, about 10 months old. One had a single straight comb and the other a pea/rose comb. The straight comb rooster was aggressive and dominant and he mated successfully with all of my hens. He tried to attack my son a few times so he went in the pot. The other one has been trying to mate with the hens but I have not seen a successful mating yet. The hens seem to be shunning him. They do stick with him when they free range but scoot out of the way when he makes a go for it. Will they eventually accept him or should I look for a new rooster?
