    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.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    Mike M <br>

      We have several friends that have kept - and continue to keep -
      chickens for years and have heard that story.  You mention the
      hens are young but is the roster young?  An older roster doing
      this ends up as Chicken Catchetorri.  Sometimes separating a young
      rooster from the hens ( but within eyesight) gives it a few months
      to realize that the hens  are his friends/lovers and to take it
      easier on them.
