Rooster plucking other rooster

[sweedee75]

My roosters are 3monts old, we have them eating out of our hands. Yesterday the lil roster was eating and the BIG rooster sneaked up behind him and pecked a feather right out of his ***, then ate it!! Was this just to show that HE'S the MAN?????

 

[GitaBooks]

Two roosters may bully one another, especially the larger one may feather-pluck the smaller one as a way of show his dominance. However, chickens not getting enough protein can also feather pluck, as feathers have a lot of protein in them.

You can try supplying scrambled eggs, bugs, and high protein grower food to supplement the diet.

Best of luck!
