Can anyone tell me why my 2 Buff Orpingtons jump and provoke each other so much? Sunny (roo) and Goldie (hen) grew up together and I assumed they'd mate once they reach full maturity but they've started displaying aggression but not... Actual aggression? It's more like sparring. Sunny jumps her a lot and she jumps him back. They try to jump the ducks and welsummers but that doesn't work. The welsummers are too small, so I scold them for it, and the ducks couldn't care less. Even so, they're constantly jumping at one another, squeaking and flying around but not pecking each other. Is this normal playful behavior that I should let be or is it something I should interfere on?
