What to do now

[Bp10244]

I’m aware I need to rehome one of my cockerels because they’re overbreeding my poor little pullets, but I’m leaving for a mission trip in two days. The girls are starting to lose their feathers and they’re hiding and farting away from the cockerels. What should I do with the cockerel while I’m gone, since I can’t find a home for him??

Separate him from your pullets

If you could, maybe put him inside of one of those wire dog crates where he can still see the rest of the flock, but he won't be able to have access to the pullets.

Seperate him out into his own space.

BTW...hiding and farting away from the cockerel. That made me laugh, thank you.

I'd separate both (all?) of the cockerels for now and give the poor pullets a break.

Lol I’m glad, but it should have said running haha.

I like the original better, the mental picture is hilarious! I can just see pullets zipping off to a secluded corner to break wind away from the fella.
