Newbie here. We got 1 EE rooster (?6 months old) and 8 hens (similar age and not yet laying) for our first flock. We ALSO picked up 2 laying Wyandottes and their Mature Good rooster. They wyandottes are are separated from the younger flock but can see/smell/hear each other. The EE Roo has begun crowing and young ladies are not laying. His behavior seems aggressive to me. He grabs them when they lest expect it and bites/pulls out neck and back feathers and EATS them. Heās making NO attempt to mount them. Is he just stupid and learning or is he evil?! The young flock was previously housed together and had 2 additional cockerels with them. I was told he was very submissive in the previous homeā¦
I seperated him from them for 2 days and as soo as they rejoined, he pulled feathers from 3 hens in a matter of 5 min. Heās back in TimeOut!
What to do?
