I have one Buff Orpington in my small flock and she is my most aggressive toward some people...namely me and my grandkids...she has never given my husband a moment of trouble. She is, however, apparently lower in pecking order, so that could be her issue.
Thank you for the advice. I will probably attempt a trial run soon. Most likely I'll sit outside the coop for awhile to listen for anything that sounds overly concerning. I guess there's no way to really know until I do it. Actually that's how this whole chicken thing has been...trust that...
So...I'm moving along on this chicken adventure, after starting with 6 chicks in March. Those lovely ladies (golden sex links) are laying lovely brown eggs daily and have adjusted to their schedule of coop overnight, run during most of the day, and free-ranging for a couple of hours before...
