    2 and a half year old Hen becoming a Rooster

    Thanks for the input. I have read some more on it. Someone suggested separating her for a week and holding her to remind her that she is not top dog. She was a really good layer and I hope she can reverse the curse.

These two older hens are the top of the pecking order and the one that is the Top, "alpha" hen has been behaving like a rooster after giving me a very generous batch of eggs for two years (she even...

    I have cold hardy breeds because of our winters. I got 28 chicks on February 1st. I do not need a flock that large. Most hatcheries will ship no less than 25 chicks due to cold weather and their survival during shipping. So I need to get rid of at least half the flock. These pullets are very...

    Classic Rooster Behavior
