It's always good to know you aren't alone! I just try to love her for her cranky self and she has calmed down a teeny bit. This weekend, she actually roosted on my lap and fell asleep. So, who knows?
I have a very cranky girl named Parsley. All my chickens are Buff Orpingtons and are super sweet and mellow...except her. She started flying at me like yours and has drawn blood before. She even came at me with her talons. She attacks when I try to touch my other girls (who like being petted)...
