Rooster mounting hens without consent

[chickens really]

Alright then i figured there was no harm in asking, he'll be off soon.

Just note that you might be getting rid of the better one?...

Ill Be Sending The One Off Anyway The Other will Be Staying. I Think He

My other guy has always been more mellow and is more dog then cock, the plan was always to get rid of the mature one, I'm hoping that since the other grew up under the other rooster and has been bullied pretty bad that maybe he'll be better, i am prepared to separate him for a while though, i can hope right?

I would keep the underdog, they generally make better flock leaders. Overly dominant roos in my experience turn out to be jerks in every sense of the word. Just something to think about.

Sometimes the case but not always..

Nope, not always just in my experience. I'm sure many people have done well with very dominant roos, but i have not. Every dominant roo I've ever had had two modes crazy and i really want to see the inside of your crockpot. Once in a very small while they would have a little clarity and then *poof* back to being a jerk.

All I meant is that Cockerel that is breeding Hens and not human aggressive might be a better Choice..He already is protecting and liking the ladies..Other Cockerel is putting flock and him out of wack...

True he is doing his rooster thing,and I'm not knocking him. All I'm getting at is it works both ways, underdog roo would also do his rooster thing if it weren't for Don Juan so technically they're messing each other up. I've just noticed underdogs do better for my flock, maybe they're more appreciative if roos can be appreciative that is.
