This hen was put down around a month and a half ago (see page 2). It's probably best to just leave this thread be for the time being.

In Your Opinion.....

Most people would have culled her rather than keep trying to tame her. It's part of risk management. Sorry for your loss!

Grabbed the chicken that’s being aggressions hold him or her down on the ground on their side. One hand on the head and one hand on the body. You are the leader. He will wiggle but hold him there for a while until he submits to you. Then let him up. I swear it works.

While this did happen long ago, its strange that it happened at all to me. Her mother is a purebred silkie, and her father is a mix between a silkie and something I dont know. Silkies are known for their calmness, ive had aggressive birds before, but they were all roos. Ive never had a rude silkie hen before so it was just an odd event.
