Mean hen!

[Spicybritt9]

Hi everyone I have what I believe is a 6 month aggressive hen. She was hatched with my tolburnt polish and silkies along with many others. Everything has been fine till about 2 weeks ago and she is chasing and picking on just one polish and one silkie. My husband separated her last night from the flock. I'm not sure if this is common behavior or something that will be a problem she is one of my husband's favorites so would like to try and find a solution if there is one.

So is this just a young hormonal attitude? He doesn't bother anyone else just 2 out of the flock.

He may be attempting to mate them or become higher in the hierarchy. Most hormonal cocks settle down in a few months.

Should I keep him separated alittle longer till he calms down? Is that even possible?
