Broody Hen = Frustrated Roo?

[Fluffy_Butt]

Truthfully I had 7 Roos in my flock of 39 birds.
I have 6 now.
I’d see one of the larger boys mount a hen and mate and the. My bantam rooster who was absolutely gorgeous, would try and do the same. He’s grab the same girl by the neck and get dragged around the run and end up pulling out feathers.
This happened very frequently. I kept telling him one day he’s gonna go.
I used him as live bait for a fox while he was in a cage and got one. So I let him live for a bit as a reward.
He was fine for a day or two and then BAM right back at it.
I know he was trying to mate but the big girls just weren’t having it and they’d run all the time getting their feathers pulled out.
I now have 6 roosters

Poor guy, but 6 roosters getting along is impressive! Sounds like you did what was best for the girls though. Thanks!
