I have two (possibly three) roosters and 12-13 hens. Still waiting to see if one of them is actually a rooster.
Well, the two that are definitely roosters attacked my Cream Legbar hen at the same time. They were just running after her when I started videoing but then it took a violent turn.
I don’t know if this is normal rooster behavior but it was very brutal!
Just after I took the video, she ran away and they chased her.
By the time I ran over there, the big gray rooster (sapphire gem) was basically standing on her head and the other rooster was already leaving the scene.
She was under a bush and didn’t move after I removed the sapphire gem.
I picked her up and she looked exhausted and was bleeding.
She’s all fixed up now and she got very spoiled but I’m concerned about this behavior going forward.
Would you all advise that I get rid of the sapphire gem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
