I have one EE hen named Hawk that I got from an assortment from Murray McMurray. She has that typical brown color a lot of EEs have and a gray beard. She lays brighter blue eggs than most EEs that look like Ameraucana eggs. She's one of my nicest chickens and one of her eggs hatched into a...

Some roosters are like this, but usually not this bad, I think he's trying to show he's dominant but doing it too much and attacking them. Some of my roosters do that (because they're young) but not as bad as him. He'll probably grow out of it. Honestly this is why I don't keep roosters. I...
