We always hear stories about young cockerels harassing pullets but what about pullets harassing cockerels?
In one of our coops we have 2 cockerels and 6 pullets. They are all 4 months old. I noticed that the pullets chase the cockerels away and peck them. Sometimes the cockerels will face them but the pullets always win. The cockerels would like to mate with them but the pullets refuse. Every time I hear squabbles coming from the coop, I go and look…it’s always the pullets chasing the cockerels! Why? I just find it so strange because usually the roosters are the ones chasing the hens to mate with them and the hens are scared/submissive.
