SOO I CAUGHT MY BR. SITTING ON TOP OF MY HEN, WITH HER NECK IN HIS BEAK,. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??

, AND SHOULD I BE PLAYING SOME "MARVIN GAYE" ?? 5 MONTHS OLD, AND I JUST INTEGRATED MY LEGHORN CHICKS, SEEM TO BE DOING GOOD. THEY PRETTY MUCH JUST HANG OUT BY THEM SELFS. . PS ITS 112 DEGREES OUT, SOOO I HAVE 2 WATERING BOWLS I PUT ONE IN FREEZER OVER NITE, AND PUT IT OUT IN THE SHADE IN THE MORNING. BY THE TIME I GET OUT OF WORK, ITS STILL OK TO DRINK. IF I DIDNT IT WOULD BE BOILING HOTT.

Cute chickens! I love the one with the crest.

Your rooster was just breeding with her. He'll climb on her back and grasp her neck feathers with his beak. They do this regularly. Sometimes the roosters get pretty rough and can cause feather loss, but that's because they are trying to balance, not because they are aggressive.

Best of luck to you!
