Aggressive hen??

[DarleneE]

I have two chickens aged 9 weeks. A Barred Rock and an Ameraucana. The Barred Rock seems to be very aggressive towards the Ameraucana.. esp when there are treats around. She'll stand straight up and do like a rooster almost?? Is this normal for them to fight like this. I've also seen them like peck at each other?? It ceases fairly quickly thank God..but concerns me. They were raised together from one week old chicks.

Unless they are drawing blood, I wouldn't worry too much. Keep an eye on them, but there may just be a pecking order being established. They can be very food competitive!
