When by the feeder if another comes by he/she fluffs up neck feathers and wings and gets aggressive. Is this a roo behavior? I know hens will show aggression but its the neck feather and strutting that makes me think roo.

Roo, but yes, girls an do it too. I don't know about the neck puffing though.

Mark 11:22-23

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

Here's another pic. Oh and she is a RIR. So combs are not necessarily a indicator.

How old is your chick?

I have a little Sebright hen who once stood a LF barnevelder roo down. It was so funny. He just came up to her to say "Hi", she raised her hackles in a threatening manner, he did the same, then thought better of it and ran off to hide.

I thought I understood both photos are of the same chick.

They are of the same chick. I think lighting is an issue here. Looking at her in person she still has a yellow comb
