Queen of the Coop

Betsy and Hazel

Two of our hens have decided they want to be the Queen of the Coop. Betsy and Hazel will fluff their neck feathers and have a staring contest until one breaks eye contact. Occasionally, one will fly and swoop down upon the other's back.

Now, not only do I have to listen to three children bicker and squabble, but two of our chicks have decided to act like my kids. I wonder if timeouts work for chickens?
