Young roos: not choosy.
Sometimes, they will hunt in packs.

Yup they will mount just about anything. Poor girl! They are not very romantic about it either.

Usually if she is allowing it she is about mature enough to start laying.

True that. My cockerel was mating the guineas last winter, females AND males. I think they'd mount a feather duster if you left it laying around. That said, mine has gotten more discriminating as he's matured. I think of it as the "teenage boy" phase.

Hahaha! I have enjoyed all the funny posts! Thank you!
I watched him some more and he is chasing after the others but not able to catch them yet. He even tries sneaking up on them while they are distracted at the feeder, and STILL they get away!

I will enjoy him for a few more days and then, sadly, he has to go away. I am not allowed roosters here and I know one of my neighbors is already frustrated by him.

Last night he was in the run sitting up on the saw horse crowing all the ladies in for the night, too cute!

Yes they will, and is a sign they are getting close to laying as well.

No, it gets weird when the roo gets big enough to hump the hen that raised him.
