I am on my first flock and started with 7 chicks, one turned out to be a rooster. They are now about 4 months old and the rooster started getting really aggressive towards the hens. I let them out of the run each night for a supervised time in the yard. This past weekend, the rooster attacked my Light Brahma twice pulling out feathers each time, then he attacked the Maran and she started bleeding all with in a half hour. That was enough, I put him in the barn for the night and the next day he was in the crock pot. I didn't want a rooster to begin with and I don't think I will ever keep another one, I just don't see any need for one. The hens seem so much calmer and less stressed with him gone.
