So, this morning when I was in the coop I had a hen escape and I didnt notice until much later when I out near the run and she was free range with my Roo.
He is always free range but the ladies have an enclosed run.
He seemed to not mind her around and she followed him where ever he went. I got her back into the coop and run and he didnt seem to mind that either.
Later today I decided to let the hen that I have in solitary out of her seperation cage and let her roam. The Rooster then began his Rooster Dance. He started to mount up and pull her feathers from her head.
I guess my question is do you think he did that to the hen that escaped from the coop and I missed it and then she followed him around or do you think that he only wanted the one that has been in seperation?
Will the head feather pulling stop or do you think that is just his style?
