I had the same problem with my hand reared rock rooster. I held him down and squeezed him close to my chest with his wings rucked and pet him on his head. I did this every day for nearly 2 weeks. It seems to have calmed him down as no sudden attacks in last few months. I still don't trust him...

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! Great to be here. Thank you for weasel advice. I will get wire down today. You are right, whatever it is, will be back.

Hello everyone, I am new to hen world. I have 4 girls. 1 is a that is a Black Copper Maran and the other 3 are unknown. I awoke to a bloody comb on the biggest hen today. Found ferret-size hole in ground inside pen. Coop is kept locked at night and is secure so assuming she put her head into...
