@hazal it sounds like you need to try to divide your pen in half and separate them until the chicks are a bit bigger and can get away from the male if he gets aggressive with them.

Anyone else have peahens who aren't laying yet? My five (ish) year old White hen still isn't laying. She was stressed by the new male we brought in for a while but he's basically left her alone for a couple weeks now and been very pleasant toward her. She started laying early May last year.

I have seven 7 breeding age hens, only 3 or 4 are laying from them.
I also have 6 hens 2 year old non started yet, some of them layed last winter so i know they should lay this summer.

Thanks everybody! That's a relief, I was worried something was wrong with her. Hopefully she starts soon, I've got someone who wants some chicks from her and my Spalding male.
