Rooster question

[Nmarine1057]

Will it take longer for my young rooster to mate with another older roster around? He's almost 5 months old now and I have a place for him and his hens when he is ready. Should I go ahead with the move?

Also he hasn't been trying to mate

He probably isn't trying to mate because there is a dominant roo there.

Agreed. And yes, I have noticed that subordinate roos try to stay incognito as long as possible with a dominant rooster around.
