We have a small rooster which we introduced to our flock of 9 girls a few months ago. He was small when we got him but thought he was just a young bird...
He has settled and is very friendly, inquisitive and is easily handled. However he is still very small, has hardly put on any weight and is being bullied by the bigger hens...
I am worried there is an underlying health condition that i haven't picked up on...what checks are recommended to make sure he is ok? Should I separate him out to be monitored or would that cause extra stress?
