I have four hens, all born March 2012. They have had a consistent pecking order until the last 2 weeks. The top hen, after molting, has started making "baby" noises, high pitched repetitive calls, and all three of the other hens keep chasing her away from them. They all jump on her and peck her, though she is still allowed in the coop at night.
What happened? My previously super peaceful hen flock is in upheaval.
Any advice/suggestion?
Thanks
