Back to the training -- do you do this inside the coop or outside? This particular rooster is very territorial and protective of his hens, which is good, he's very diligent about alerting them to hawks and eagles, but it would seem he'd object to being separated from the hens. My coop is pretty small (4x8) and on stilts, but I can get inside pretty easily. It also has an outside hinged nesting box which many of the chickens use as a mass huddle-up at night, and usually this rooster is in the midst of the chicken-pile so I could easily pluck him out from the outside. Just wondering if there might be an advantage one way or the other. I'm also thinking I should ditch the under rooster soon as opposed to later, as their personal competition may be making him more aggressive in general.
