Bossy boots ..

[cornish lowen]

Hiya ..does anyone else have a bossy / mouthy lead hen ... She spends all day mouthing off about anything that isn't to her liking .. Recently it's occupation of the coop .. Over the winter only her and one other were laying ..now it's warmer and drier they are all starting to lay again and oh , it's annoyed her ..she isn't violent in any way ..just shouts and shouts .. She even shouts at me to hurry up with food !!!

I've had a hen at the top of the pecking order who a vocal complainer. All the other hens seem to join in as well. I added an adult rooster to the coop a few months ago and he really does not like her complaining. He will occasionally give her a peck or chase her around to show her who should be boss. Now I get more whining chicken sounds from the group as a whole when they want treats, but they still can get pretty noisy.
