Who's the boss?

I think our hens are not real happy with Conager, our new rooster. We only got one egg yesterday, and they are real jumpy. He appears to be establishing the pecking order, and my girls are resisting. The funny thing is when he does dominate one by putting his foot on them, the other hens will run to their rescue... It is interesting to watch. Ursula, who thought she was the boss out there is having second thoughts. There sure are a lot of feathers in the yard.
