Hemlock has been here almost a month now and has taken his place as the lead rooster, crows in the morning and some other times too. All the chickens are out twice a day free ranging it. He keeps a watchful eye on them.

He does try to mount them, and sometimes pecks feathers out from their neck. In particular, he goes after the two youngest (Brahma and Favorelle). I wish he wouldn't do that. I've been working with him by picking him up when he tries to dominate the girls and moving him to his bachelor quarters attached outside the run. Happy chickening.....I love my chickens!!
