Redwing Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 yes it is, in the absence of a cockerel this will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nooooo don't say that - I thought having a rat which displayed this sort of behaviour was a big learning curve for the children. They were highly delighted with the activity even if the rat on the receiving end was not happy one bit (followed by fur flying). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My top hen Mabel regularly flattens her underlings. Being a short legged pekin, she had to get more creative in subduing the silkies. She stands on the rim of a large plant pot and leaps on them when they walk by!
