I have a 2yo RIR, Ruby. She has become my fave.
I thought my BO hen would be because she's just so fluffy, but Ruby comes to me when I call her. She loves when I pet her. The problem I am having with her is she is so mean to the 20w old babies (6 of them). One of the RIR and both of the LBs are bigger than she is but she pecks at them.... keeps them away from the food when she's around it. Just overall mean. I push her away when I'm around and see her acting like that. I know that she is trying to let them know she's the queen but at what point will it stop? I haven't seen any blood drawn but they have also been free ranging lately. They will run away when she's around. They are about to all be put in a run and I'm concerned.
