I got 4 friesian hens and they are crazy and peck each other,I didn't have a problem with this as they calmed down after a while but today a sad thing happened,my chicks escaped from the cage I have them in I'm not sure how,(I keep them in a cage inside a coop,minimizes the risk of a snake getting in there since my rooster is in coop I'll hear him give his alarm,as when I kept them outside I lost 2 to snakes),I had a beautiful black even legs with brown dots in his chest chick,he ended up getting pecked to the point he was bleeding that I decided to put the poor thing down , with the first chicks my hens hatched,they started pecking themselves when they were 4 months old and pecked a poor one badly that I decided to keep him outdoors the whole time,he eventually healed and I sold him,he became a white with black dots rooster to the person I sold him to,I noticed that another fully black hen doesn't peck her brothers or they peck her,she is pretty calm and wont run if I go near her,I also bought a buff orpington,she was really calm!!!she wouldn't peck others if they didn't peck her,to those who keep friesians, are friesians naturally more aggresive than other breeds?or is it like different chickens have different personalities?is there any way to stop them from hurting each other?what's a breed that wont bully others?
