We have some feral hens that hang out around our place, eat bugs and roost in a tree at the back of the property at night. They are not the problem, but the roosters they attract are. We were awakened at 1:30 this morning AGAIN by the rooster that one of the hens walked all the way to the end of our street to fetch back to the flock! This is after we had trapped and disposed of the first 3 roosters these hens had manifested.
Don't think you can have free range hens without ending up with roosters, all that squawking and crowing lets all the birds in earshot know who is where, and where the roosters are. That drive to reproduce is strong in the jungle fowl, now we need to get rid of this rooster before the super broody hens hatch some more.
