I gotta ask everyone who reads this thread a question about my hen nuggets hopefully I can get some answers Im desperate and heartbroken.
My 10 month old black sex link hen Mcnuggets use to be so gentle to everyone even to my two dogs, and so loveable. Every night when I would put her and her sister (McChicken) back into there coop for the night she would jump onto my back and I would let her and her sister snuggle up into the back of my hair and sleep for a good hour before my back couldn't take it anymore.
Ever since nuggies started laying eggs her whole personality has changed. Not for the better either she has become more aggressive towards me attacking my legs and feet out of nowhere. I feed both my hens worms out of my hand and I feel like nuggets purposely tries to nip my skin.
My other hen use to be alpha but nuggies dominates her and now nuggies is #1. We don't have our cuddle time at night anymore because the last time she was on my back she Pecked me in the face. My last straw was this evening when I was changing her hay and for no reason she came rushing towards me and started to peck at my shins.
I know this might seem pathetic to some people on here and I couldn't honestly care but my one feeling I have left is hurt and I'm heartbroken I take very good care of both my hens they are spoiled and are loved by my whole family.
Is there anything I can do or what could be wrong? I took a poultry behavioral course I don't recall anything like my story was covered PLEASE ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME!!!
