My hen Olive is acting strange. She just finished raising 10 chicks. She is still all poofed up around other chickens. She sleeps with her chicks but she goes outside on her own in the day. I have 2 coops 1 for the chicks Olive hatched and 1 for the other 11. I have 2 roosters and when ever there is a hawk flying around the roosters try to hide the hens under trees or in the barn. Olive is causing the roosters to come out to get her. They cant get her to hide though. Eventually the roosters will give up. I am worried a hawk is going to eat her. She just wont listen to the roosters, she listened before she had chicks. I am really worried she is not safe. Yesterday threr were maybe 4 hawks outside and I saw she would not listen to the roosters so I had to bring her inside.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
