[AT] OT - Rooster and hens

[Mike M]

Thanks Spencer, all the chicken's are the same age, about 6 months old.
They were supposed to be all hens, but that was not the case, as we had
2 roosters, and were all bought from Rural King. He seems to be a good
rooster and  keeps an eye on the hens who are just starting to lay eggs,
but he is hard on the hens, like it's date night. My wife is going to
look into chicken "coats" so he can't latch onto them, and rooster #1 is
gone, as he was ornery right from the start.

Best regards,
Mike M
