I have a young rooster that I raised from a chick. So far, he's been a good boy and protective of the hens. However; our one older girl would not allow him to mate with her and now he has become rather obsessed with her. He bit half her comb off and now she runs away from him and is very stressed. We free range but only have 5 hens because Foxes keep getting them if I'm not vigilant (and sometimes even when I am). Should I rehome rooster? I would like to keep him and I have been keeping the wounded hen by herself for the past couple of weeks. She has healed but he still goes after her.. Today he threw himself at the fence separating them!
