Pullet cheating on my rooster

[Ian0823]

Recently one of my pullets has become more vocal and has face for a month now

Yesterday when I came home I saw my rooster fighting with unknown rooster they were exhausted and muddy

I separate them and I found that his owner lives 100 m far from my house
And he keeps coming here ( I chases him to his house and 5 min later he comes back )
And that pullet ( I am very angry at her ) mentioned above
She keeps going with him and mating with him too
She hasnt started laying yet
My rooster ( I havent seen him mating with her )

Why is that pullet mating with him ??
My rooster is fit and fine
And mating with other hens

She thinks he has better genetics for her chicks. It's natural, just like almost all animals. They go with the male that is best suited to have offspring with.

Could also be she isn't a member of your flock due to pecking order and sees less risk going with him. Time for pens or fencing

What if that rooster stop coming here
Will she accept my rooster ?

After her mom weaned her at 2 mo
She always roam with my rooster
And he treated her gently with care

My rooster is not dancing nor I see him mating with her

I saw her mating once with that stranger

"Cheating" isn't really a concept in the chicken world. As @JacinLarkwell said she probably thinks he has better genetics for her chicks.

Well, if the rooster stops coming around she may go to him.

She’s an animal. They don’t live by the same “rules” imposed upon us. Chickens are not one of those species that mate for life, like lobsters and penguins. Perfectly normal. No such thing as “cheating” in the animal kingdom.

I love how you've worded this thread. I would be upset too if one of my hens decided to wander off with a strange rooster. Does the stranger have hens of his own?

 

[Ian0823]

They have many immature pullets and had a pair of bantam but hen died
So that rooster keeps coming here and fighting with my rooster
