I have a 2 yr old roo that won't let the hens eat in the run, he chases them away from the feed.
Funny thing is when they free range he calls them when he finds goodies, lets them eat everything he finds and is a great provider.
He only started doing this 3 weeks ago. We had no changes in the flock when this started, no new chickens so I don't understand.
My family is ready to rehome him over it and it does tick me off, but if I can change this behavior we would keep him.
Any ideas as to why he's doing this or how we can make him stop? (outside of putting him in the stew pot, thats not an option)
