Hi all,
Through some rough times lately, we are down to 12 hens and 3 roosters. I've noticed lately that the roos are shooing the hens out of the coop (they have a fenced run). The hens are still laying eggs in the coop, so they are coming in once and a while... What is causing this behavior? Do I need to cull a rooster? (I want to get some more hens in the spring, so I'm not fully set on this option.) Any thoughts would be appreciated!
