So... I have a Bantam Rooster and Either the hens don't listen to him or he is not doing his job. Now He has been Mounting one hens but the other mature one whom is bigger than him he is not, the other one is not of age yet so He is also leaving her alone. Now the bigger hen will Squat but the rooster is only taking interest will my top hat, It's been over 4 weeks and still no eggs from her. Now I have been seeing some hawks and feral dogs in my areas and All the rooster does is jump up or hide while Clucking continually. The Hens Really don't listen to him when he gives them a cue to hide or anything, But sometimes or most of the time he really doesn't care. Do I need to get another rooster or what? or is he just very low in the pecking order with the hens?
