Chicken walking strange and different noises

[Jose11632]

So a chicken of mine has started laying in her box more time laying there and when I put her out of her box and she got aggressive with one of my welsummer and puffed up and made cro cro noises and fought what’s happening to her

If you want purebred chicks of the same breed as the parents, then yes, both parents must be the same breed. But chickens are chickens and if you don't mind having surprise chickens, then any rooster can fertilize any hen. The babies resulting will certainly be chickens, but if you don't know which rooster bred which hen, then the chicks will be mutts, or "barnyard mix" chicks. Thay can be pretty and interesting, but may be "one of a kind."

Sounds like you got a broody hen. Does she have viable eggs?

 

[Jose11632]

Don’t really know we separated our rooster since he is hurting the hens when he mates pulling their feathers out and sometimes he doesn’t grab them correctly anyway to make her stop

 

[Jose11632]

Should I separate her or is there anyway to make her stop being like that

If you don’t want her to sit on eggs then you’ll want to try putting her in broody jail. I’ve never done this as I’ve always had room to let mammas be mammas. From what I know, you put them in a small crate with like a wire bottom so they can’t hold heat to incubate? Sometimes they’ll quit on their own.

Also I don’t know if the eggs are combatible is there such thing as a Brahma welsummer mix or RIR welsummer or australorp x welsummer

Compatible? I’m not sure what you mean. The chicks would be mixed breeds with no specific breed title.

Oh I thought the same parent was needed to make the breed. Sorry this is my first flock.

How long ago did you remove the rooster? And as long as it was another chicken they are compatible it doesn’t matter if they are different breeds. If the eggs are fertile you can let her hatch them, you can also get fertilized eggs from someone else and let her hatch those or even try slipping a few day old chicks under her. But if you don’t want anymore chickens right now there are several tricks people use to get them to stop being broody. I think there are several articles on here about how to break a broody hen.
