Does anyone else here keep their Sebrights in a mixed flock?
Trouble (my Sebright) is in with LF. (Mostly Orpingtons) She's screeches &/or pecks when she feels offended. I have seen her bully a LF Dominique as well as her mama - the only other bantam. The Sebright wins every time! Because of her speed & agility, she always acquires the best & biggest treats. I would have thought that the big hens would have put her in her place by now, but apparently, her place is "Queen of the Coop." Is this behavior normal?
