So actually, my hens are over a year old and are laying. But the rooster is new and young, I hatched him along with one pullet and introduced them in with the older ladies.
(Only about 2 of the hens squat, these are the ones with the worst combs) but the others either run away, or don’t put up...
Hi everyone! My cockerel has been mounting the hens for only about 3 weeks now, and he is grabbing the hens combs instead of the feathers. I have white leghorns with those big floppy combs, and they are all scabbed and bloody because of him. What should I do? I think it isn’t from over mating...
