About three days ago, I moved my rooster from town to my coops on the farm. Today I was planning on taking one of my city girls out there to keep him company. When we got there, I sat the hen down and the two were still seperated by wire; They started raising their neck feathers and started fighting eachother. I tried to break them up but they both had eachothers wattle in thier mouths, and they bled a little. I thought they might of killed one another, so I just left him out there by himself, and brought her back into town.
Why are they doing this when they have been together in the city for a long time?
What do I need to do to make them Get along?
Any Ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jared

If this helps, He is a standard RIR, and she is a small phoenix.
 
She is the oldest and has always been bossy! She is like a Chihuahua that thinks she is a pit bull! The rooster was henpecked in town by the two girls. Now I am thinking I might take my naked neck out there, and see what she does.
