We introduced some e new birds to the flock. We had 1 rooster and about 14 hens, and added another 3 hens, and one that we're not sure about (pullet vs rooster). Every one of the hens from the existing flock puts the one that we're not sure about in it's place. During eating, during the roost shuffle at night, etc. If the unknown bird was a rooster would it be subject to the pecking ritual? Wouldn't it just be left alone and pretty much out of the pecking routine as the order is re-established?
Thanks!
Thanks!
