I have 2 seven week olds that have been together since day 2. The EE has always been dominate and the LB who is def a cockerel, just follows her around. The last two days, however, I see them doing neck flares at each other. Is my cockerel just realizing he should be dominate and testing the EE, who is simply trying to maintain her dominance or is my pullet also turning into a cockerel? Here is a close up of Penny, the EE pullet. Henry, LB on shoulder, looks very cockerel in his close ups but not so much there.

Whew! Thanks for the reassurance. It is good to know behavior doesn't mean a lot at these young ages.
