My male indian runner wants to attack me ALL the time. Tries to bite my hands, feet, ankles, he seems angry with me all the time - but when other females go in by him, he is a peach. I dont get it. Any ways to stop him from attacking me?!
Hi everyone, in my area tonight we are expecting 3-5 inches of snow. This is the first snow that our 10 chickens will ever see. They are in a garage structure (insulated) at night so I am not worried about that BUT during the day they are outside in a fenced in area, and there is chicken wire...

Our 2 Fawn and White Runner Ducks HATE our chickens. The duck actually gets all big and shakes and runs/darts at the chicken and then "bites" the chicken. At this point we were able to quickly grab the duck away, however wondering if this is normal? We plan to keep separated from now on... but...
