I got my first Yellow Golden Cock last June. He came with my peafowl. He was so gorgeous that a few months later I bought him two hens. They seemed to live in absolute harmony until the other day. I observed him harrassing her which I had never seen before. I attributed this to the approach of breeding season. Next thing I know she has a hole in her head. I aeparated the cock for over a week till she healed. Than let him back out. First day was fine. Second morning she looked OK. He chased her a litle but did not seem to be hurtting her. That evening she was dead, picked to death. I was shocked and furious. Is this normal? How can I prevent it from happening again?
Thanks!
