Long story short, I decided to take matter into my own hands after my neighbor abandoned this hen and it’s 6 chicks. They are no longer chicks of course, I believe they are around 5 months old. So there are four roosters and 2 hens (siblings) and the mom, plus a stray hen I believe was a neighbors as well. I know you shouldn’t have more than 1 rooster per 4-6 hens, I am naive and know little to nothing in taking care of chickens. But my reason for posting this , is that today I notice one of my roosters isolating itself, Rod hasn’t eaten a lot compared to yesterday. I’m afraid he’s sick, perhaps he has sour crop or something and that’s why he isolating, maybe bullying I'm not sure, but today I witness his siblings attacking him. I’m afraid he will get attacked again and that means I will need to rehome him.(Sorry that was a lot, what do you guys think?)
