It just means that he is displaying his dominance.

Ok, thanks for responding. That's too bad, we were hoping that maybe one was a girl.

Our sick hen passed away last night we tried everything for her, treated her crop, for cocci, and dewormed her and nothing helped. At least she was happy. They are silkies by the way.

I'm SO sorry, poor her and poor you!

On a lighter note, I love your avatar, is it a silkie chick?

Yes, it was one of the silkie chicks we got, but it was the only other girl who also unfortunately passed away :'( I love chickens, and they are so awesome, but so heartbreaking.

After 8 years of this I can tell you one thing: There are always those that have a special place in your heart, and losing them never gets easier.

Our two boys:

This is the pretty, but aloof one.

This is the sweet crossbeaked one.

I love the chickens, and i want to get more, but the only thing holding me back is how sad it s when you lose them.
