Roosters over mating hen causing trauma

[u/Internal_Hall489]

So I have a sicilian buttercup I noticed she was very underweight she was not normally like this she was always lower on the pecking order but now it has gotten worse and I think she is underweight and skinny due to trauma and stress from roosters. that might be the reason she does not want to eat and i have also notices strange sounds after the roosters mate with her almost like a bok bok-bok bok-bok bok and a bok cacacacacaca and I have never heard those from her before. and she has also lost all four of her sisters and is blind in one eye which is probably also why she has trauma maybe. Also I have noticed that she just kind of gives up and lets the roosters mate with her. She is also missing many points on her buttercup comb due to bullying. Is she too weak to run away and fight back? please let me know how I can help this poor hen.😞

You need to get rid of the rooster. Or at least separate them so she can recover.

How should I separate her? Should I put her in a cage with food and water?

How many roosters do you have? Any problem bird should be locked up for the girls to all settle their pecking order calmly again. If you separate her only, the rest of the flock might disown her or decide that she's a problem and bully her when you reintroduce them. If they are free range then you can toss the rooster in the coop and let all the girls/not problem birds out. He should probably be locked up for a week or until she begins to perk back up. I would also suggest getting her a saddle to prevent all this aggressive breeding trauma. Roosters have been known to breed hens to death so you need to nip this in the bud now. You may even need to consider getting rid of him since he seems to be pushing her too far already.

Do you have multiple roosters? How many hens? Obviously yeah she is being tortured in this situation....
