    Rooster attacking hen?

    I think Ill do like CTken said and seperate him for a few weeks and see if that helps. He is such a beautiful boy and so good with the others. Id hate to have to get rid of him.this is him. The white chicken is the one he attacked.

    When will momma take her babies out for the first time?

    She walks around in the coop with them, goes to the feeder and clucks and shows them how to eat. if i try and touch one she fluffs up at me and gets between me and the babies and will bite me if i get to close. Also she clucks at them if they are to far away and they come running.

The golf ball looks and weighs similar enough to an egg so it tricks the hens into believe another hen "layed an egg there" so it must be a safe place to lay. Since doing that all my hens...
