I hope someone can help me....I have a game rooster with 4 hens; 2 are game hens and 2 are barred rocks. He mates with all of them, however, is very rough on the barred rocks. When I let them free range the two barred rocks go one way and the roo and 2 game hens stick together around the coop/nesting box. The barred rocks don't want to go back in the coop and can't lay their eggs in the nesting box....Right now I separated the roo from all of them.
Also, when he does mate with the barred rocks...the other two game hens help him corral the barred rocks...it's like everyone is ganging up on my precious sweet rocks....
Are hens ever afraid of roos? He's a nice looking roo and I really don't want to get rid of him just yet.
any suggestions?
