We have a rooster (almost 1yr old) who has been really good until now. He’s been second on the totem pole to a head hen and this weekend he started trying to mate her for the first time. Today we went out and she was scalped. We’ve separated her and hoping that she’ll heal. Do you think this calls for a pot of rooster stew? He’s been a really good guy so far. Friendly and not aggressive at all. I just don’t know if it was an accident of an overeager cockerel or a sign of aggressive behavior to come.
