We have a flock of 22 chickens. They are right around 1 year old and a variety of breeds. There are 2 roosters, one is a leghorn (Chuck) and one is an americauna (Fabio). Up until now Fabio has been the "dominant" one, he is the one mounting the hens and chasing Chuck. However last week we added 2 goats to the mix and my brother (the one who typically cares for and coddles the chickens) went on vacation. He just returned yesterday and was reunited with his beloved hens last night, all was normal.
Fast forward to this morning and Chuck, once the chicken my brother was the closest with, is now attacking him.
Any suggestions as to why the change has occured and more importantly what to do about it, would be MUCH appreciated!
