How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[AmandaR]

Today, our Pepperpot (still laying and just over a year old) has been getting rather 'ahem' amorous with our gingernut rangers.

Gripping them by the neck and enacting cockerel behaviour, making the strangest of noises and 'afterwards' strutting around with her neck feathers all puffed out e.t.c

Can anyone advise what is going on here? It sure is giving the neighbours something to gossip about

It's normal. She is obviously top in the pecking order and just reinforcing it with dominant behaviour

My Atilla the Hen does this all the time. She is top hen and not always in a good mood:?

Thank you Patricia and Egluntine,

 

Glad to know that it is normal behaviour. There was a concern in the back of my head that she may be one of those 'one in ten thousand' hens who change sex

 

I'll have to order a regime of cold showers for her from now on then!
