Rooster won't breed

Poor confused thing!

You mean This thread of inter-species rooster love?

I think the idea of separating him is your only shot. I've got problems like that often too, and usually separating them gives them that extra manly boost they need. . . . Especially if they hear other males in the distance.

If depressed breeding in rooster like with humans exhibiting low "T" (testosterone), then consider a bumping up activity of his largest muscle group. His breast muscles. If he will let you handle him, then repeatedly toss him on a table so he has to flap at least a little to soften landing. The workout will potentially bump up testosterone produced by muscle mass to supplment that produced by testes. You may find he comes to like increased activity. Similar breast muscle workout could be induced by enticing him to fly a couple feet up repeatedly for a something like a meal worm. My games tend to get cockier after such workouts.

I've never had a problem with roosters not breeding, but I agree that they do tend to have extra "energy" after being locked up...

Growth of the pectoralis major(breast) has absolutely no effect on testosterone production, Testosterone is produced from a release of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GNRH) released from the hypothalamus which causes the pituitary to release Luteinizing hormone which through a series of reactions causes the formation of aldosterone's (testosterone), Granted an increase in Testosterone can cause an increase in lean muscle production, but does not work the other way. I would brush up on my anatomy and physiology before suggesting this advice.
