Game Hen defends her chicks

[scooter147]

I had this exact same thing happen, you described it to a tee what this hen did to protect her chicks. She was just a "barnyard bantie" as we call them around these parts. She raised a many a chick for me.
The irony of the whole thing, she was killed by a coopers hawk last February.

I raise game chickens along with laying chicken and show birds. Game roosters will not tolerate ANY other rooster. Once they "come to game" , mature, they will fight any other rooster until it runs off or is killed. You must pen the roosters. However game hens can co-exist with other breeds of chickens. They are definitely worth having around, if nothing else just to raise chicks!

Thanks for the info.
