Confused chicken???
« on: May 24, 2010, 21:19 »
I have just witnessed one of my chickens appearing to 'mount' of the others....is this normal behavour, have I just never noticed it before or been around to see it happen?  I don't have a cockerell only 6 ladies  :D

I am a bit worried that they might be bored and starting to turn on each other.  During the winter they tend to have the run of the garden, but for the last few months I have kept them in their run.  It is more than big enough for them, but they have a crafty way of laying on the guilt rather thick  :ohmy:

Any thoughts gratefully received
Emma

it's a dominance thing, she is just letting the other know she is the top chicken  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.
