Aww, thatās too bad! But as long as HE is happy and has TV!Yes, the other 3 eggs did not make it.
when it comes to regular food, he pecks the hens so they leave. He will go to the food as soon as a hen goes to the food, as if she reminded him of it. (The food is always available.) Then he makes her leave.
Sounds like a good guy! Mine does all that in the summer, but was never human aggressive.My rooster calls his ladies to food, watches for hawks, dogs and cats, and keeps the hens from scrapping too much. He used to be human aggressive but he's been cured of that. He's turned out to be a good bird. Blue Andalusian/Jersey Black Giant mix.
I've even learned the difference between a "hawk!" call and a "cat/dog!" call, and been able to deploy appropriate countermeasures because of my newfound fluency in chickenese.
Yeah, that is my backup plan if he gets worse.If you only have one feeder, you could try adding a second one, far enough away that he can't guard both at once.
Twice a day they get 3 plates of the layer feed moistened with milk or whey, and between 9 birds everyone gets a chance to eat. This is in addition to the bucket feeder that is out all day. You would think Gonzalo is fed enough food...If you only have one feeder, you could try adding a second one, far enough away that he can't guard both at once.
When he keeps the hens from eating after he had a bunch of food
