I have 1 rooster and 5 hens. This is his second year and he has started hurting one of my hens. She has a large hole poked in the side of her face, near what I think is her ear. I put Neosporin on it, but it looks pretty bad and I'm not sure it will heal on its own. She is also missing feathers on the back of her head, and I noticed him targeting another hen yesterday.
I bought this rooster especially for his breed- he's a Wellsummer and I hoped to have him father chicks for eating.
He is our third rooster and the first one to act like this. Is there anything I can do besides eat him?
Thanks in advance.
