Hi all, I gave away 3 brothers 12 month old kochin/orpington cross roosters to a lad with a largeish flock of mixed poultry (30 or so birds including a few ducks/turkeys). One of the roosters has adjusted pretty well, but the other two are super-scared of the hens (though they are much larger than the ladies) and are hiding in the shed daily. It has been 1 week since I brought them over to the new flock. We are wondering if I will have to retrieve the boys. Any ideas? My friend has tried noise distraction.... he says the ladies are not actually pecking but staring them down and chasing them.
