Hi All This is my second accidental rooster. My first one was really rough on the hens and constantly. It was obvious that I had to get rid of him and luckily I have a farm not to far away who will take them. This latest one is now 4+ months old and has been jumping on the hens to mate for a few weeks now - maybe three weeks? My favorite hen is scared of him and stressed out. She hides and it also seems like some of the other more docile hens are scared of him. He is not aggressive at all to humans. He just sits there and checks us out when we go down there and sizes us up but is very non aggressive. Here is the question. As he matures will he get more gentle with mating? Like will he figure out how to get them to mate with him without jumping their bones in an unwelcome way? I was going to take him to the farm today but I feel so badly. He is a nice enough fellow but I also have to look out for my girls.
