My one scarlet roo is only giving attention my one scarlet hen, while ignoring the three falb fee hens in the breeding group. Some of the other hens are trying to get his attention, but the scarlet hen is definitely playing hard to get. My concern is that today I now see a small bald spots on the top of the scarlet hen's head. The bigger spot has an open wound. It's not bleeding but you can see the red of an open wound.
I was hoping this group would work it out. These are my only two roux that hatched so I really wanted to breed them together. The scarlet hen is aslo probably my best bird so far. She's big, strong, healthy, smart, and looks great.
I'm really at my limit for separating individual birds, but I think the best thing to do would be to remove the scarlet hen, so she can heal, and see if the scarlet roo will start showing interest in the other hens. Although, the ratio in that group will then change to 1:3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
