Oh, Amy, you don't want this little spitfire! She is insistent on attention and unlike Gypsy or Charlotte, if she doesn't get it, she bites. Heck, if you push her away, she comes back fighting. I'm dead serious. She will even flog if you keep pushing her away. I am trying to rehome her because she needs more attention than she is getting and I am expanding my flock so she will get even less.
What I'm doing is hatching to have a large group to pick from so I can replace my elderly ladies as they pass on to that Great Roost in the Sky. Tiny will definitely be lost in the shuffle when those new ones are put into the flock. Her bad eyesight is what I'm sure is to blame for her personality. She has to be tough in a group where everyone is higher ranking than she is and she can't really see well enough to avoid predators, etc. She was spoiled rotten as a chick and now, insists that all attention is paid to her. She calms down with lots of attention, but heck, I can't cater to her the way she wants. She needs to be in a small flock where someone can lavish tons of attention on her and let her be a pet.
Thanks to all who are giving input here. I will tell you that Tiny did hatch from a blue egg, but her tail set, her entire body type, her brown egg, her eye color, all tell me she has something in her ancestry that I didn't expect. I've seen game hens who look almost identical to her. Even her pea comb is not a good pea at all, so she definitely isn't pure for pea comb, IMO. I think there was a single comb in her gene pool somewhere.
