Can I just double check that this one is a female please because they keep raising up to full height facing each other as though they’re squaring up to each other🤗
Yes, she is still a pullet. Adolescent chickens challenge each other. It doesn't matter if the chicken is a pullet or a cockerel. You will see very similar behaviors at this stage of development.

🤣😂Thank you🤣😂I’m finding myself getting worried incase I can’t make it work with the cockerel. My other 2 aren’t bothered about them now but they’re both terrified of them and run away from them even when they’re not chasing. They look confused at their behaviour. These 2 are so different to anything I’ve had before, I don’t even know whether I’ll ever be able to let them play out like my others incase they disappear up a tree and the fox gets them at day break 🙃 Soooo stressful my others are sooo different and easy🤗xxxx

Some call that chest bumping. Both sexes do that from days old to weeks old, and it's not an indication of sex. It is so cute when they do that though! You know they're happy and having fun!

Awww bless you❤️that’s amazing I’m so worried about all this 🤣😂 I’m 100% out of my comfort zone 🤣😂I’ve always had Hybrids that I suppose are bred for an intensive egg producer. There’s nothing that I can’t do with those girls. I get 1 every September and it usually takes me 6 weeks to get totally integrated. But these are sweet but terrified of us and the other girls. I was waiting till it got dark then tipping them off a outside run perch into a bag and carrying them around to put them in the sleeping area with the others but now because they’re not easy I’ve become a bit scared of them. And the white one is a bit more pecking towards me but not the hybrids. It’s scared of them. I’m out of my comfort zone but if I can I have to learn how to make this work unless my neighbours say no about the crowing. But I’m also struggling because I don’t want to let him down. It’s harsh 😭 . Please could you tell me if I can eventually let these birds out into the open air and they’ll go back into their enclosure on an afternoon and one of my bird is 4 years old can she cope with being mounted and she is boss lady how is that going to work now with him please? These are my main concerns I think 🤔 Please could you advise? 🤗xxxx
