Like havoc said letting a grown cock lay it down on him won't do anything as far as the stag and hens but could ruin him.

That won't do any good except (potentially ruin) the young stag. Just separate the stag and don't give him any pullets or hens til he's more mature. I've had a young stag kill pullets and others give hen/pullets a helluva beating. I've got a yard full of young stags that have to be by themselves although they are almost old enough now. I have some with pullets
That we're just fine from the get go and some that were a little rough from the beginning. Most settle down but not all. Missing tail feathers, scalped pullets, just generally beat to h*ll. I'd rather pen them by themselves and wait em out if he's worth keeping.

I was being sarcastic sir wouldn't let him get hurt. But yes he's separated now. Hopefully he gets his act together

How old is the kelso? If under a year imo you should pen him up and after he's a yr maybe 1.5 yr old put him into a pen that a hen is already in. Put him in her territory. Sounds to me like he's not sexually mature yet. Typical stag mindset.

He's about 7-8 months. And he's penned up now.

Yeah he ain't ready yet to be with ladyfriends he don't know no better

I didn't mean physically hurt him but mentally. He gets whooped by an older bird while he's young he might not reach his full potential.

Man o man. Rough night for the birds. 16 degrees with wind chills just below zero.

Yes sir, I'm back down here working. We had scheduled to upgrade a panel in a parking lot this morning, hopefully the sun will be hitting that area soon.
