My friend asked me earlier tonight why her new rooster was only picking on one of her hens. I didn't have an answer for her I just told her to separate that hen from the rest so he doesn't hurt her. Is it a show of dominance? Maybe she is slightly smaller than the other hens? I didn't ask if she was smaller because I was certain she got all her hens at the same time. Is this common? He is new to the flock. Maybe a pecking order type of thing? She told me he was holding her down and pecking at her head.
