We are fairly new to keeping poultry. We have 7 hens and a cockerel. For the last couple of weeks the cockerel has been getting more and more aggressive with one particular hen. He isn't trying to mate with her, but keeps on biting the back of her neck and back. This is pretty constant, the hen is very distressed and is forever running to us for protection, he has drawn blood a couple of times now. Any body got any ideas how we can stop him. Don't know if it makes a difference, but he is a Partridge Wyndotte. Failing any cure ...anybody want a stunning cockerel ?.
