Two confused hens and a partridge in a pear tree....

[Why and Dotte]

You know how hens can "become a roo"? I have two

one that crows and "breeds" and the other just "breeds".
I have two 2 month old roos that are trying to take their place as roo, but well the hennyroos are too big for them to stand up to

Would it help if I took my hennyroos away for a while and let my little guys take their place in the flock? I'm a little afraid that they wouldn't be accepted when I reintroduce them.

I would just leave them be. In time, the cockerels will mature and take their place. In the mean time - the hens are teaching them manners.
