Question: we are re homing some of our hens.. The new owner calls and asks to bing one back because she is a"bully" pecking and being nasty??? She was top girl in our flock but not nasty.. Hmmm whats up?

A new home brings stress. Perhaps they don't have enough room or are acting out because they are stressed.

I just sold a couple birds, one of the questions I asked was if they had done an integration before.....luckily they had and understood it.
