Hi!
I have 2 Australop roosters that are about 5 months old. I have 19 other hens. I have realised that when my least dominant rooster hops onto a hen, the dominant rooster starts pecking at the poor hens face.
I dont know if this is something i should be concerned about. There isnt any blood ever drawn and it doesn't get too violent from what I have seen, and it is just a peck or two.
Any suggestions, or do I just leave it?
Is he just trying to show the other rooster that he is the alpha or something?
Thanks !
