I have a flock of 7. Six of them I've had since they were days old. My one lone Bantam was brought in as a rescue five months ago.
Things HAD been fine, until last week. My New Hamp Reds started chasing and pecking at the Bantam, quite viciously. This was new behavior. (Note: the Buff Orph. aren't bothered by the bantam at all.)
Just today, the bantam woke up crowing like a rooster. I thought HE was a SHE.
Do you think he reached some stage of maturity/puberty that is making the hens mad?
I just can't figure out why the Reds turned on the Bantam.
