Anyone have an idea how I can calm down roos? I have 5 roos that are almost a year old that are being so agressive that they have killed 5 of my hens over the past couple months. I really don't want to destroy them, I want to breed in the future, but not sure what to do, I have 2 silver laced cochins, 1 welsummer, 1 americana, and 1 white cochin. These boys are driving me crazy. I have over 200 chickens and about 10 roosters. The roos are being so ruff on the hens, I have another flock with older roos that are not at all like this. Help.
