you realize that pullets will do the chest bump and such just like young roo's

Yep they do. Seems to happen mostly when one runs too close to another and startles it. That one thinks it is being attacked and they both go on offense for about a second. Then they figure out is is just one of their flock mates and go about their business.

Cap, you need to run some ads . Farm fresh eggs, can you sell quail meat ?

Have you seen hens do that ? Mine do sometimes. Raise their hackles up , the works.

Not sure what the regulations are on that. Problem with selling eggs, we are out in the middle of no where. Not going to deliver them. So i really only sell eggs at swaps.

Yep, though it is mostly with the littles. They are all full of piss and vinegar running and flapping here and there. Accidentally run over another and the "fight" is on. The older girls only run if they think there is some food treat to be had so they don't startle each other as much.

My coop is mud and hens are kicking the eggs out of their nest box. When it dries out I am going to try and raise the fronts up some. I seen 5 eggs in there today but they will lay there .

what if you could sell quail and chicken eggs to a mom and pop restaurant ? I bet they go through a lot at a time.
