I have a 8 yr old EE who decided to be a rooster a few years ago and started to crow. She and the other 2 remaining original hens hadn’t been laying for several years, they were just living out their retirement years. Since that time, last summer we introduced 5 new pullets that began laying this last January. Shortly thereafter, my EE and my Black Australorp began to lay again and the crowing stopped. BUT now that same top EE is now mounting my blue Cochin, who is bottom of the pecking order. I don’t see a tremendous amount of bullying from my fake rooster, just the occasional reminder of whose boss. But the mounting is new.
We are about to integrate 4 new pullets again in the next week or so, so I wanted to ask in advance for help or suggestions.
I looked thru the other threads and didn’t see any info that matches my situation so figured I reach out for help/ ideas. Thank you!
