Chirping
Ok I have 12 hens and one cockerel and they are about to turn 4 months old. now that the cockerel is maturing I have noticed he is mean to the girls, he grabs them by the throat and wont let go, and pulls feathers out and they scream bloody murder! he shows no aggression toward me or my dogs so that is good, but i am just wondering will he get worse with the hens or is this just a puberty thing he is doing?
