    Help! Hen attacked my son

    Here are some photos. Normally, they are all very docile so this was a big surprise. As you can see, Buttercup has only a slightly larger comb than the others (they seem to be catching up to her in growth)

    Help! Hen attacked my son

    My 24 week old Buff Orp flew up and scratched my son's face today. (Just missing his eye by a hair). He lets them out of their coop every day for some free time in the afternoon. He was just playing by himself nearby when one walked up to him and flew at his face. Do hens ever behave like...

    springtime post your new chick pics
