The nighly roost rumble

[NorthwoodsChick]

My rooster wouldn’t allow a particular hen to roost next to him. He is usually flanked by a couple of higher rank hens, and the one he pecked away was a lower rank. I’ve never seen a rooster save a spot for another hen. Curious if anyone else has a rooster that calls roost space dibs for his favorites?

Oh yeah. I haven’t watched my Leghorn rooster actively dissuade any ladies but only the Light Brahma is allowed to sleep next to him. And I know she’s his favorite because she is missing feathers on the back of her head
