I have a hen that fell ill and had to separate her from the flock. After several weeks of nursing her back to health, I am trying to place her back with her sisters and brothers. She is very shy and my rooster is chasing her all the time. When I come into the area, she clings to me like "oh mom, make that boy go away and left me alone." I assume he's trying to let her know who's in charge. Is it ever likily that he would kill her? I just want to make sure I am not stressing her out too soon. Appreciate anyones feedback. As a side note, I recently discovered that both chicks I got from a straight run appears to both be males. They are the same age, but one clearly showed his true colors several weeks ago. The other is just now revealing himself. I really didn't want two roosters, so is the concensus to keep the one that appears less aggressive?
