Time to get a new rooster?

[chloezoebob101]

Goodness, i hope i have this in the right section.. anyways-
We have this rooster, he is nice to us, never tried to attack us, but to the hens i think he overbreeds them. Fluffy was pulled out of the coop (just in time to save her life!!) bc she had a bloodied up head. which was bc the rooster. Now he is going for Lucy, and she is starting to loose feathers on her head too, i am just worried they are getting a little too beat up. Time to go?

How many hens per rooster? Maybe he needs more girls.

Why do you have him? is he a stud that's worth working w/ to breed?

If not, I say he's lunch.

@theoldchick- 20 hens
@devora- we have him bc.. well bc (actually this is a very good question) maybe bc we hatched him

and couldn't get rid of him..
But wouldn't a year old banny be too small and tough to eat?

I would pen the boy alone for a couple months and then try him again. He's almost at the age where all that exuberance starts to settle down. Of course, if you have no use/need for him, yum..........Pop

he's just not worth it though *sigh* Do us more good on the dinner/lunch table than would separated in a pen.
