Hi everybody - I'm new here. We have 2 marans hens, a brahma hen, and a brahma rooster. They're about 8 months old now, and the hens have been laying for a few months now. For the second time in under a week our rooster Bernie has attacked me! He's really full on and in a flap, chasing me around the yard, puffing up, and pecking at me! I'm assuming this is normal protective rooster behavior -- but is there anything I can do about it? The Brahma hen has been semi -broody (is this possible?). One day, she'll refuse to come out of the hen house, but the next, she'll come out freely. The first attack came after I was trying to get the hen out of the hen house, and the second time he attacked me when I was holding the eggs. Any feedback is well appreciated.
Thanks,
Julie
