We just recently introduced our new hens into the community coop. They had plenty of time to get used to each other because the coops are right next to each other. The new hens have been panicking at night trying to figure out where they are supposed to go. Only one or two of the five have figured it out so far. The problem is is that our rooster is guarding the door. He goes into bed before everybody else and pecks everyone who comes in. Last night I had just about enough of this and used a stick to poke him away while I ushered the babies in. He doesnt peck them hard but I'm wondering why he is making a point to do this. Its not just to the young ones it is literally every hen. Any advice as to why or how to stop it I would appreciate. I'm leaning towards getting pinless peepers for him. His attitude really needs adjusting. Hes ran at me the last few days but I did the "rooster dance" and scared him off. I think hes trying to compete with me for top roo.
