How old is Luna..and I've heard that about New Hampshires, that they lay often..I want some!
I think I'm hearing that a lot of black sex link are stinkers! Except to humans..I even had one like that, she would get on top of one of my hens and peck her poor comb bloody, but she would walk around the yard with me and talk away. I placed her with someone that had a larger flock..hope that worked out.

Luna is almost 9 months old.

My Buff Orpington, Grasshopper, is the queen of the coop! Generally she's not too aggressive, but if someone below her doesn't do what their supposed to do, they can expect a peck. And I thought they were docile....

My 7-year old Delaware hen, GreedyGuts, is the queen of the castle. She even bosses the 25-lb tom turkey around!

I have a pair of sister BLRWs and they are top queens (Vivienne and Sunny). I think they share the crown, I've never seen them argue with each other. They are older than the rest (3 years old or so) and they are grumpy as can be. They remind me of those two old men on the Muppets. They are always standing in the corner, grumbling about "youngsters these days!"

I have 5 regular size hens, but my 2 little BANTAM RIRS are the bosses, the big ones are afraid of them.
quite funny
