Sounds like they are re-establishing the pecking order. It happens. Let them be unless someone gets hurt. It will resolve itself much quicker if you don't intervene. Just keep an eye on them, but let them work it out. Good luck.
thanks carrie my names mitch ya ive been keeping an eye on them as much as i can latly ya even the dominant bird is being aggresive even more starting today idk why but she is chaseing a bird that she dsnt like much to the point were that bird shes chasing in the run will squat down while she pecks hard into her comb im thinking geez what is ur problem bird ill clap my hands to breakem up when they get roughf
My hens turned a year old in March. 3 weeks ago they turned into crazy chickens. Exhibiting same behavior that you mentioned in your post in Sept. 2010. What happened to your chickens? Did they return to nice hens or did you have to chop off their heads?
