6 month old leghorn pullet violently attacking me worse than rooster

[Purelychicks]

This area looks sus, what do you all think?

She’s looked like that for 4 months

For a six month old bird? No, she's a pullet

Maybe it’s a really under developed roo.

I had a sweet pulley for awhile she would bite kinda hard it hurt but over time she mellowed out she was never mean just sometimes rough she never acts like that now if you have to put her down I’m so sorry

Do you have a roo in the pen with the aggressive hen?

I'm wondering if... she is potentially assuming the role of a roo...

If you haven't mentioned already, how does your aggressive girl act around other chickens? Any aggressive behavior towards others?

Genetics and the way they can play out are never easy to predict. I am with all the above when they say cull. I would never tolerate such a chicken. The behavior is extremely abnormal and could be related to a hermaphitditic chicken or not. You really won't know until you open it up. Please consider removing this violent, abnormally behaving hen from your flock in a permanent sense. Do not move it onto to be someone else's problem. There is absolutely no normal reason why a hen would behave in such a fashion and if it were a roo, this behavior wouldn't be tolerated for a second. Why should it be tolerated in a hen?

Light brown eggs. Her dad was an Easter egger (and is dead now.) and her mom is my brown leghorn. (Who is also aggressive.) here’s her parents.

In reading articles and watching a lot of Youtube of different breeds and so far the Leghorn has been reported to be a mean aggressive type, I’ve never personally has a leghorn but so far bad behavior

They do have a roo who hatched with them aswell, she acts fine around the other pullets but sometimes attacks the roo.

Things are so weird lately, why not chickens also, next we’ll be hearing they are trans gender

Is the chicken with the gold feathering the one that is in question?
