Oh lol, sounds like my battery hens, when's cat or dog gets in they lead a full on attack, my neighbours fox hounds got in, he has loads of chickens so they are use to them but my chickens are not use to dogs so then just ran for them, went for the eyes
Good guess. I know about the hen feathering in the camp and roo in the friesians,I'm hoping that I can breed them, my neighbour also got a throw back but I don't know what gender.
I have a little secret, she is more gold friesian, the thing is I got 4 friesian eggs of my neighbour and all hatched, two chamois Roos a chamois hen and then this little girl, now the rooster my neighbour has has a small amount of gold campine in him so she is a throw back to that, so basically...
Again ur wrong, hens base to Roos as a sign of submission, if u watch them the roo stands tall before he mates and if they don't submiss then he doesn't mate, and we had an encounter with a cat about two weeks ago and my welsummer flew over the fence three to four times before she stopped and...
I also noted people mentioning squatting earlier on and I'm afraid to say that isn't a sign of wanting to be picked up, it is a sign of submission, is u have ever seen a fox attack u will see the chicken runs but after a while will squat and get eaten.
