Most of the time the roosters never ever pick on hens...they know that if they do then ....how do i put this nicely...the hens won't put out later?<br />3.

I have read that sometimes chickens may ...Hi, Amy! I have read that sometimes chickens may look like the opposite sex and I think that is true because I have a Buff Orpington rooster that lays eggs. Go figure. Anyway, if you have all hens, oftentimes one will assume dominance of the flock and take on rooster behaviors. To save wear and tear on your (and poor Martha's) nerves, go sharpen the hatchet.Joyce Paskihttp://www.swampcreekfarm.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
