Please help! I have a rooster, 5 5 Black Sex Link hens, 2 guinea fowl and the cutest little Cochin hen. My problem is the rooster won't leave the little cochin alone. As soon as I let them all out of the chicken run in the morning he goes after her, biting her in the neck and throwing her around and then she ends up retreating and hiding under the barn until sunset. Because I am really new at this I am not sure this is normal behavior for roos or do I need to get rid of him. He doesn't bother the other hens except occasionally mating, but nothing like what he does to the little hen. I really love to hear him crow and strut in the yard as he watches over all the other hens but am willing to get rid of him if this is not normal behavior.
