I can't help it. Everytime I see this commercial I think of your first ladies @RoyalChick I have always imagined they had British accents living in a Palace and all.

I love that TV ad!

Now YouTube is bringing me more chicken commercials. Check this one out. This could also be one of @RoyalChick hens headed for the rafters.

If you can't get Mr. P to keep track of Rico, then lock him up.

Mr P ??? just kidding.

Awww poor Rico, the problem is there are just too many places with hens everywhere, it’s all very tempting to a young Roo like Rico and Penne. And then earlier one of the splash Roos was trying to have his way with Marty, Mr P was close by and chased off the youngster.

But the girls are all back and forth inside, outside in the run, in the stalls, all places to give a young Roo a place to grab a poor hen.

Too late! Phyllis has already flipped herself many, many times!

She surely is. Sometimes she gets airborne when shaking off a dustbath. Somehow she is always surprised by it.

But yes I will likely have to lock him and Penne up so the old girls would be safe.

He is learning, and he is young and hormonal.

I don't like separating them from the main herd (flock), as that is how they learn, normally the others would whoop their butts - same as young colts would get a butt whipping from the older mares.

But if I decide that they are going to freezer camp I might put them all together in the Summer House and put the hens and pullets together with Mr P and whichever cockerel I decide to keep (if any more).

Your youngster will need to learn the hard way with many pecks from the older girls, they too will need to learn as they have never has a rooster around. I will also be closely watching your situation to see how your ladies train you wee fella.

So far, Cesario has received a solid blow to his back for not respecting the beta hen's space while foraging. He screamed and ran away!

I think that he is intimated by the older ladies and so far has shown no interest in mating yet. He is ten weeks old.
