Sorry, no I didn't see it.
Well, I wouldn't say that that's "how its done" with game fowl. But I had a real problem with another group that hatched earlier this year getting too aggressive at a very young age, and someone suggested that if I had a well behaved rooster to keep with them he might police their fights and keep the peace. The rooster in the picture is far and away the most well behaved chicken I own, so I figured I'd give it a try. So far he seems to be mildly curious about them and that is all. The broody is still on the nest and seems to get very uncomfortable when he gets too close, but I think they'll be fine as long as she doesn't go after him.
You know, I used to use a nice big EE cock to keep the peace amongst my young fowl in a big fly pen until the day a 2 lb Asil stag almost killed his 6 lb ass! lol
That's pretty funny. I don't think I have to worry about that though. There's a reason I call that Cock Tyson. And It isn't related to meat chickens. lol
I just hope he doesn't get too irritated with them. Or the overprotective hen for that matter.
