BO chasing others?

[threecutechicks]

My BO is starting to chase my RIR and BR around the yard. They will be fine together then she will chase whoever is closest to her and jump in the air? When I went to close the coop door last night, they were all on the roost, but the BO was standing up seeing what was going on, the other 2 were hunkered down. She does not wait for the others to eat, they are all pretty equal when it comes to waiting for the treats. Any reasons she is doing this? I just hope that she does not turn out to be a he!!!!!!

The girls are not yet laying eggs, should be mid August for that.

How old are your gals? If they are still young, they may be establishing a pecking order. The BO might be just showing who is boss. This happens in every flock. Some of the girls we have here are kinda like little feathered bullies.
As long as they work it out themselves without drawing blood, they should be fine.

Thanks!!! They are about 4 months open. I was kinda thinking that is what she was doing.

May be dominance behavior or it may be gender behavior-- as in perhaps 'she' is 'he'.
