OK, I will try to make this short and sweet. We picked up 10 bay chicks on April 30th. So they are pretty much grown cruising the backyard, we didn't know how to sex them when we got them,I just knew I wanted gorgeous different breeds. Wellll we got em. and out of that 10, 4 are roosters. and one I swear is turning out to be the meanest thing i have ever seen. He is a mottled houdan. Anyway the other 3 are a frizzle, a blue Cochin and a buff polish laced. I have handled and spoiled these ones since they were 2 days old, half of them now are just turds. Anyway what do we do, here's the thing, they pick on each other, seems like its way worse int the morning when they are first let out. BUT they are chasing my sweet little hens and Biting, I mean HARD, ripping feathers out and making them scream,what the hell?? My fiancee grew up in Wyoming and says its pretty much nature. I feel like I am gonna go out there one day and find one of my baby girls dead. Why are they being so awful to them. Do we need to get rid of all but 1? Will they eventually work it out?
Like I said, they have grown up sooo gorgeous and I'm attached to ALL of them it would break my heart to get rid of any of them.ALL advice would be appreciated. here is a pic of my 4 young men,now you will see why it would be so hard.
Wild Thing (frizzle)
Domino (mottled houdan) SOOOO MEAN!
Dexter ( blue cochin)
and Hopper, not yet mean to the girls (buff polish laced)
Please help, TY
