The past couple days my drake has been chasing just one of my hens down. He has been pushing her away from the rest of the flock. He will mate with her in what seems like a much more aggressive matter then the rest. Why is he doing this to only one hen. There has never been an issue. they free range 4-6 hrs a day on tons of property with a pond. My drake is about a year old. Will they figure it out or should I be concerned. He doesn't really bother her when in the coop with their attached pen. But as soon as they are out he gets right after her within a few minutes or hanging out by the pond. Currently him and 4 hens are on one side and the one hen is by herlself on the opposing side. It's sad to see her be hassled and by herself any advice is much appreciated.
