Are they brother roos? We have 8 hens and 2 roos but they have hatched and grown together so don't fight. Can you rehome?
Yes they hatched together and have been raised with each other - that's why I think they sleep together and eat/drink together. You almost always see them together when they are out in the yard.... Also, only the OE roo crows, the BO roo doesn't crow and I'm not sure he really mates the hens, especially since it's hard for him to balance. I'm assuming the feather plucking is aggression, is it possible that the OE roo is just establishing that he is the head roo?
