I have a young rooster who is not aggressive to me and appears to be in good manner with the hens! (All 3 months old) but in the morning it was noticed that one hens eye was closed and swollen along with her neck looking pecked/bitten...I have a black silver sex link that has been aggressive...
: ) I have 7! I have two RI Reds, two Red Sex Links, two Silver Sex Link and a Barred Rock my (Donnie Girl) No Scarlet by name : ( Rhett aka was to be (Bonnie Blue Butler) my blue egg layer!
I'll have to ask which Hatchery but yes he appears to have a lot of Ameraucana in him but with more greenish feet so not a full breed. Does have the same red color as my reds!
So now the big question is should I let nature just continue it's course? I have one Barred Rock, 2 Black Lace Silver, 2 RI Reds, and 2 Red Sex Links. I wish I knew his mix?
Thank you! She was named for being a Blue egg layer (lol) but also rhymed with her paired up hen : ) Donnie Girl (barred rock) Donnie arrived without her pair and this alone black chick became Bonnie!
