I have a blue ameraucana rooster, I have had him for 5 months now, he's about 10 months old.
When we first got him he chased my hens, we had a older more dominant rooster then so i guess he felt he had to chase in order to receive.
But he's been on his one for 2 months now and doesn't have much interest in the hens, he sleeps by my most dominant hens on the perch at night, but during the day, the majority of the time he's never with the hens.
And you might be thinking, "Maybe he's mounting them when I'm not around." False, I've been adding eggs from my hens to the incubator for 1½ weeks now hoping to see development, guess what? nothing.
He doesn't get beat up by the hens so i don't think its because he isn't accepted, he just doesn't try.
