I'm assuming this is from my rooster, but what should I do about it? And does it affect egg production?
I used to have one hen that showed signs of 'over riding' by my rooster. I despurred him and now I have multiple hens with bare backs and then some. The bare butts are the most confusing. His spurs are growing back but they are nothing like they were when I treated him. Is this more than just his aggressive desire to mate? I'm considering chicken saddles but don't know the specifics of their use: how often to change them, how long to leave on, what kind works, etc...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
