What to do with my who*e of a rooster

[duckychick11012]

I have an ameraucana roo who’s just about a year old. I hate him, I want to cull him. But, my husband loves him and doesn’t want me to. He’s super friendly and follows him around when he goes in there. But, all I see him do (I spend more time with them) is over breed all of my birds. Nobody’s loosing feathers due to it yet, but I can see it being a problem in a few months. My poor bantams who are 1/4 of the size of him won’t even leave the coop because he’ll chase them 200 yards down the fence line. He even try’s to get frisky with my ducks and geese! I have 40 hens and 2 normal sized Roos, one bantam. My leghorn is polar opposite and never see him do anything. Is there any hope for this guy, or do I need to just tell my husband “I went out and he was dead”.

I've seen some people separate their rooster and have it live alone, or with a turkey to put em' in his place. good luck with your roo!

Sounds like he might need his own little area with a few hens that are more compatable with him

Nobody is compatible with him. He will jump on and right back at another hen without missing a beat. They all run away from him. I have 2 full grown African geese that even run from him.

Hrs hit his spring hormones, seperate him for a few weeks until he cools off.
