so I went out early this morning, before sunrise (around 5:45) to see my crowing rooster. He just learned a few weeks ago
Anyway, I was noticing a particular hen that was very aggressive toward the other girls. At first she looked like she was trying to "mount" the other girls, and I thought maybe she really is a roo (most of my chickens are only 22 weeks, so not laying yet!) I checked closer, and believe she really is a hen, but she kept pecking the other girls and fighting with them.
My question is: at what point do I not consider this normal behavior developing "pecking" order, and isolate her from the other girls?
btw, I have 2 roosters with beautiful crows, and one that hasn't started crowing yet! so far, I love that sound!!
