Romeo our 17 week old SS Rooster is always picking on "Weezy" our 17 wk old buff orp hen. He will grab a beak full of feathers and hold on while she goes screaming and tries to get away. This happens several times a day he grabs at her head, side, back where ever and always ends up pulling out a beak full of feathers. I haven't seen him do this to anyone else. I don't see any blood but I am sure she isn't enjoying it.
Is this a "rooster" thing and he's trying to live up to his name or is he just a bully? He doesnt seem to be very aggressive with any other hen and isn't aggressive at all with me or my kids.
