Hello Debby, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
If you've had roosters before, you've had chickens. They are male chickens.
Probably because she hasn't submitted to him yet and he's trying to force the issue. That's what I've seen with my roosters.

Yes thats true. But my mother always made me give them to my neighbors before i could really get to know them. She never wanted to hear 5 roosters cock a doodle dooing lol So I had litte experince. And this time Im learing how to take care of hens just for eggs I dont want to eat my chickens. So I just got them for egg laying and basically pets I love them
