Great question, when you find out let me know. One of my girls spent time in the bathroom recovering from having her comb bit and torn by the rooster....blood everywhere. I have separated the boys from the girls and am currently looking for a new home for the boys. It really makes me sad, if there is a way to get the boys to behave I would love to keep them. Anyone have suggestions???

my solution as i also have my girls and nice roo being pecked and tortured by my mean roo. isolate the roo forever or cook him.

Ok, I have the 2 roos together in a separate part of the run, they are with the girls but cannot get to them. At night I put them in the coop with the girls but in a large dog crate. Is this ok to do? Will they turn on each other? They have plenty of room but I don't want to make matters worse....
