Hi All, first time chicken mama here and my babies are all 7 weeks old tomorrow, I have two boys and two girls and one I’m not sure if it’s a boy or a girl however, my girl Suzie is constantly fighting with the boys to the point they are drawing blood on each other’s faces, the boys are considerably bigger than Suzie but she gives it her all and having watched them it’s her that starts the fighting
my question is - is this normal behaviour? And should I separate the boys to give them peace or will that make it worse when they are together?
Everything I can find on the net suggests hens will establish a pecking order with each other but she doesn’t bother with the other two just the boys.
this forum has been a godsend for me thank you in advance
