    Bullying??

    My Dominique rooster seems to pick on one of my hens. They were bumping chest to chest and then he pecked her in the face. She looks just like my other BO could she be a he? Or is this just bullying and she is the bottom of the pecking order?

    Well it's official!!

    Our Dominique was supposed to be a hen but we got ourselves a rooster. Almost 12 weeks and he made his voice heard today lol. Let's just hope we don't get any complaints bc if we do we won't be able to keep him.
