My hubby & I retired to the country instead of traveling the world or moving to sunny FL. His dream was always to live off the land. Would have loved to join the Amish, but alas he married me. I'm afraid that is off the table now. So, here we are with a flock of dual purpose egg-laying chickens and a beautiful rooster and an incubator 22 eggs full for hopefully meat. Not sure how I feel about that. Strange things happen and I've found your thread so helpful. But, here is a question no one has asked or answered. We got our rooster 11 months into raising our hens. He's the same age as the hens and is a wonderful addition. However, when he mates a hen, in the process, all the other hens run over to the scene and beat up on the hen being mated. It's so odd. Also, when the hens lay an egg, the roo sings the egg laying song so loudly. What's going on?
