Re: [CHICKENS-101] Behavior Question

 

Got it, okay.. I just made him his own pen for the daytime. He's just going to have to grow up. Besides I can't show with just hens. All the entry forms I see around here at the local poultry exhibits specify pairs only. The little guy will just have to contemplate life from his own pen, with all the pretty girls on the other side of the fence.

The problem is the rooster is a cockerel, not a rooster.  He needs time to mature and a large dog cage to the side for time outs for the pullets.  There are always pullets and hens who are not dominant and getting rid of the cockerel will not change her behavior.  The hens will bully her once the cockerel is rehomed, gone.
