Hello, I need some advice with my two roosters. I've had the Brahma for two years, and then I bought pullet chicks last year ; one of the Amerucanas grew up to be a rooster.
Go figure, lol.
They grew up together and lived in harmony for a year, except for the Brahma chasing off the Amerucana occasionally but with no extreme contact. They are pasture-raised and have plenty of ladies.
They have recently been fighting, which I can only imagine is due to the 26 new 10 weeks old pullets I have introduced to the group. Yes I introduced them properly and they are getting along just fine with everyone. Its just the roosters that are having the problem. I understand the pecking order is getting figured out but I need a solution for the boys.
How do I handle this? I’ve heard of solitary confinement?
I’d like to not cull or get rid of him as he is a good rooster. Both are.
I’m open to advice. Thanks in advance!
