Hi everyone, I was wondering for those of you have a mixed flock (different breeds and sizes, including roos) do you keep them in the same pens?
I have a small flock of 9 atm, 2 peking bantam hens,1 mutt bantam hen, 2 orpington hens, 3 other standard hens and 1 20wk old Sussex roo, they all run together atm but today I caught the roo trying to mount one of the peking hens, the poor little thing is 1/4 his size :/ she didn't seem too upset about it but it got me wondering if he could really hurt her?
I am not sure I am going to keep this roo, so far he hasn't crowed that's the only reason he isn't soup yet
