I have two EE who are 8 months old. Neither are laying and they are my most aggressive two. The lighter (whitish) one will act like she's going to attach me when I pick up the other ladies. The brown one will go after our Jersey Giant and peck grab her feathers on the back of her neck and both...

Actually, it's okay if they are. Long story but I'm only keeping one Jersey giant. I was raising a flock of birds for a friend and me. I'm picking and keeping one of each variety for a total of 5. And she doesn't live in town so she won't mind a rooster! Thank you for your feedback on Pearl!

Thank you everyone! Rona, now Ramon, has a new home! At four weeks old, he's already trying to boss some of the older ladies. Hopefully he calms. If not, he might make a better main dish than main man!
