She did but the whole flock outside of Hattie was after her last night. I literally had to stand next to her to keep them from pecking her. It was crazy. Even Sydney went for her last night. They are clearly irritated with her right now.
Thank you. He's not my boy though, he's Rosie's. I put him up on the roost at night, but she does everything else. Those 2 are developing the type of bond/relationship me and Drumstick have and I love it. Basil is also a very good boy, even though he is into his teenage phase. He has yet to bother any of the girls, show any times of Rooster stupidness to people or crow for that matter. He is protective and watchful over squirrel, Raven, Creamy, Blueberry, and Spooky. Oh yes, mom changed pumpkins name to Spooky, apparently pumpkin is not a name for a black chicken. If he keeps it up he will make a very good 2nd in command as far as the boys go and one day hopefully far away flock leader.
I find this behavior irritating and baffling. It drives me crazy how they will go after whoever is broody with such intensity.
In my limited experience I believe that the best roosters are raised with other roosters. Looks like you have just that happening there.
