Chicken raising folks, help please - 07/03/19
Is my Rooster causing this or is it the hens fighting with each other as they go to roost in the coop. I hear a bunch of squabling type noises every evening when they go to bed, fighting for their favorite roosting bar no doubt. Either that or the dang rooster is getting after them. Had hens and a rooster 20 or so years ago and never saw this. This rooster (you can just see part of him in the pic) is much bigger than the one we had before, and not as nice when he wants some action either. I'd hate to have to get rid of him, as he came as a chick with the girls last spring (2108) and he's rather handsome.
This is probably the worst looking hen, some have hardly any damage, others a smaller area than this one. Someone told me it might be the rooster's spurs causing it when he mounts them.
Any advice?
