Sounds like you have a good arrangement there with your neighbour taking the roosters off your hands when necessary. It's a win win that way really. My hen does have bare spots on the sides of her back that I don't think will ever grow in new feathers. I'm glad I started this thread as it seems many people have been, or are in now, the same boat, and feel guilty about making the decision about a mean rooster. It is clear to me that it is, in some cases, necessary and it's 'ok' to have them killed humanely if that is the only option. We're not rooster 'haters'....we just don't have the means to deal with them and in my case it was indeed the best option for me and especially my one hen who was in with him. : )
