i have 10 hens and 1 rooster, who are about 4 months old, the rooster is a white crested polish blue, so he is the smallest of the bunch with the exception of the polish hen i bought with him (he was supposed to be a hen too) anyway i went to let them out this morning and the whole back of Lou's head is blood red and his beautiful head feathers are almost gone! why did they do this to him? they have never bothered him before. i noticed over the weekend he crowed for the first time, which was hilarious, but i am really concerned the hens are going to kill him, they are much much bigger, i have 4 brahmas, a cochin, 2 barred rocks and 2 rhode island reds, all hens, and they have never bothered Thelma, my female polish, what is happening and will they kill him? he has turned out to be my favorite!
