Thank-you, me, too! I'm hoping she comes back for my birthday tomorrow! It would be the perfect gift!

Happy Birthday!! Hope your bird comes home soon

Very unlikely. Only males get chased away by other males claiming breeding territories. Females are never run off.

I have two mature imprinted hens that chase off both young cocks and hens, They are worse about it during the breeding season. If I don't pen them during the season they would chase everyone off.

Wow! I've never had a hen chased off in the 10 years we have had them. In fact the hens have never been aggressive to anyone. Is that common?
