We are new to the chicken raising scene and have definitely had a run for our money. We have 3 hens and 2 roosters around 4 1/2 months old. The roosters have always been good around eachother until recently, the one just chases the other one away constantly trying to attack him. So the other rooster leaves all day (i think to the fields next door) and comes back at night to sleep. They go to sleep together fine but as soon as they leave the coop it starts again. Then they all keep leaving the yard. We have tried putting up fences, spikes, everything but they keep leaving and roaming the neighborhood. They will be great for awhile and stay in but then they start again. One minute they are sweet and loving and the next minute they will attack us and bite us. We have had them since they were a day old and have held them and loved them but we just dont know what to do with them now. Any suggestions???
