I have 11 Brahmas that are just coming up to 14 weeks. I ended up with 8 pullets, and 3 cockerels. Everyone so far gets along, with one exception my buff cockerel. The hens as well as the other cockerels will all pick on the one buff boy.. I've seen the pullets and other boys bite the back of his head, and make him squawk and try to force him down to the ground. When i turn them out to their run in the morning they all take turns chasing him or pecking him. He's very timid, and just tries to get away. He's the sweetest little guy to people, if you pet him he just lays down, closes his eyes and soaks up the love.
Should i be concerned that the others will injure or possibly kill him? If that's the case, is putting him in another run with one of the nicer girls an option? or will it stress them out? Re-homeing him would be my very last resort cause he's the prettiest boy and is one of my favorites, but i want to do whats best for him.
