I have two new roosters with a new batch of hens. They are all about 25 weeks old and have been blended with the older flock about 3 weeks ago. One of the new roosters will not let some of the new hens in their roost for the night. I assume that this is because he wants to mount them. This morning I saw that four hens spent the night outside of the roost.
I have about 60 birds, 4 of which are roosters. Two older and two younger. The Buff Orpington rooster has blended pretty good. The Amaericana rooster is the one with issues.
I need suggestions for this rooster as I do not want to lose hens because of him. Should I make him into soup? Should I isolate him?
