Is Bertha behaving?
I know. I just feel crappy, like people think I haven't actually tried anything. And I'm actually really upset about the situation, so I guess I'm being touchy. I don't know.
No. She isn't any better. I watched her peck a feather out of the roosters butt yesterday. I hope she doesn't keep it up. Or if she does, I hope he pecks her back & maybe she'll stop. Then, shortly after she did that, Percy wanted in the coop with them. So I let her in to see if Bertha would behave. I wish I would've videoed it. She gets SO fixated on Percy's butt. It's almost like she can't look away. Then she goes after her. She was able to peck her a couple of times before I could grab Percy out. I don't understand why she lets Bertha do that. She doesn't react at all. Goliath didn't react when I saw her do it to him either. Meanwhile she drew a little blood on Percy yesterday. You'd think that would hurt like hell. Even if she's been doing it for years. It has to hurt. I really hope Goliath settles her down. He's easily 5x larger than her. I don't even want to consider the possibility that he'll let her bully him.
