I have 3 roos in my Ameraucana/EE coop. I have 5 hens and 3 roos. They've all been raised
together and have been ok until today. The 3 roos have chased one of the hens mercilessly - cornering
her and having their way with her. I put her in a dog crate in the coop for overnight as she was very reluctant to go into the coop tonight. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do besides making soup out of two of the roos. They are really beautiful and it seems a shame. I've tried to find some more hens for the coop and that might help but so far I've been unable to source any. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
