I havent had a rooster beat up a hen in a long time... I got plenty of hen on hen aggression problems.

whatever happened to the hen beating on the stag?

pretty sure most do with hens, some are worse than others though. All will fight if they come into contact with each other. Got a few that will pen fight the stags and a few more that must be by themselves.

Flypen - I hope you do not mind me asking, but how are the Miner x Mug crosses coming along?  Would you mind sharing some pics of them?  Thanks!

this is the 2 mug x miners I have left, about 7 weeks old.

Yeah I don't mind them showing who's boss, but if they start shuffling and wailing away on her then even I have no use for them.

I'm not sure if he's after her or after me to be honest. He usually hits her one time then runs at me so I don't know if it's cause of me putting her in there or because I'm there. I'm just glad he doesn't continuously hit them.

Thanks flypen, they are dark! Did any of them come out blue? I know you said you lost some.

Well not yet but both the mugs and miners do so much changing even after they molt. I'll hatch off some more this spring.

Yes those coke bottles work fine.We've used them since plastic bottles were invented.They didn't make bottles like that when I started raising chickens.The odd shaped Coke bottles won't work,they don't hang right.I use them for laying crumbles also.The vienna sausage cans are for starter grower,I have to pen raise everything here.They come out of the brooder when they are big enough to stay in the 2x4 dog wire pens.Crossed pullets are turned loose,there's only 1 1/2 Thai 1/2 Grey pullet left of the 100+ I turned loose.All my wife's laying type stags are gone,I'm not gonna waste money and feed on laying roosters or crossed pullets.
