I've got a first time broody and she is the most feisty broody I've had yet, she attacks me if I go in the coop so I'm moving her to an isolated coop where she can brood alone in peace. Well today I was trying to get things ready so it'll be easier to mover her and the eggs after dark and I was able to move the eggs to an open topped box and then she went crazy attacking and a few eggs git cracked in her rampage then the rest of the flock naturally ran in to see what was going on and I thought the rooster was gonna attack me too but he just looked at me then back at the broody charging me and he grabbed her by the neck feathers and walked out of the coop with her so I was able to finish what I was doing and remove the damaged eggs. After I left the coop she came back and climbed in the box now I'm just waiting for it to get dark so I can move them. I used to have a rooster that would trying attacking me and Jake my current rooster would grab him by the neck and drag him away from me until we got rid of him. My question is, why did Jake go for her instead of me? Technically I was the one posing a threat and she was just defending her eggs. Why did he used to drag to the old rooster away?
