One of my two older girls is being targeted by my young cockerel. She has gone from being confident girl who lays, to one who would rather be on me or in my arms (which is NOT like her at all). For the last two days she has spent her time hiding in the nesting box, and barely wants to come near me now.
He's only young, but I'm not sure if this stared because the babies are reaching maturity and my neighbour has been encroaching on our back yard.
I've tried staying away a little more the last two days in case I'm the problem, but she's looking very rough.
Since I'm not happy to cull, I'm working on separating the girls from the boys, since I don't need to breed them. Is this a good idea? Thanks.
