Rooster attacking hen

[Redmannthumper]

We had a rooster given to us. He was bullied on by another rooster. We have had him for a month or so and today I got two hens. One black one white. At first he had not problem with them I thought he was excited. Well within a few hours he has started bullying the black hen. Pecking at it when it wants to move anywhere. He bullied the white one but not as aggressive . can anyone help me out. Also this is my first time owning tipsters and chickens help.

I'd guess they're just figuring out their place in the pecking order. Maybe give it a few days and see if they settle down.

Welcome to BYC!
There's a lot to learn and you're in the right place to learn it.

How old are these birds?

Birds will peck to establish dominance, the pecked bird needs space to get away. As long as there's no copious blood drawn and/or new bird is not trapped/pinned down and beaten unmercilessly, let them work it out.

I have an old rooster about four years old Grandpa) and I introduced a new young rooster about a year ago (Junior). The old rooster (Grandpa) has Remained the dominate rooster until recently. Apparently Junior realize that he’s stronger than grandpa and now wants to be the dominant rooster. He has been attacking grandpa, injuring his crown his feet and falling out his feathers and chasing them everywhere. Grandpa is scared to death and runs and hides from him. What do I do? I think Junior will kill him.
