I just got back! First of all...this hen is great. She ended up molting (our only hen that did) and now we get an egg every day again. Bob was fine with the younger chickens while we were gone, but the minute we brought home the older hens one of our young roos started crowing. Yesterday he started mating with Bob! Bob cant run away like the hens do. the rooster did this over and over and ended up causing Bob to bleed from the back of the head! I moved Bob back into the house, but now I dont know what to do! Can I put a chastidy belt on him and a hood to protect his neck?

Ok...pictures are around. I will post them on my website as soon as possible. If anyone uses myspace I alreay have most of them on there. The professional pictures wont be in until this weekend. I will post a couple here too.
