Rural Gardening: The Gentleman Rooster – Nurture or Nature?, 1 by sarahssizzles

I’ve noticed big differences in my older Roos when they are separated from the girls. They are of course more eager but, some are still always gentleman and others or just more or less rough. My young roos are getting old enough to be interested in the girls. It’s also molting season here and I separate everybody to give the girls a break while they are going thru it. So, my question is…should the boys be left with the girls while they are “developing” ? Do they learn better “social skills” when they are together..ie..become better gentleman? Is that a learned skill? Or are they by nature gentleman or houlagans?
