I have 3 New Hampshire Red Hens that are 7 weeks old tomorrow and one of them is very aggressive. It comes to my hand boldly when I go to give them fresh water, add more feed, give treats, etc. Then tonight, when I was doing the daily chores she did this so I left my hand in the brooder and she bit me repeatedly. As hard as she could in a very aggressive posture and was going to jump at my hand also. Is this normal or is it possibly a rooster?
I bought them sexed from Meyer Hatchery. It looks just like the other birds, no rooster-like features. I realize sexing is not a perfect science, but I guess I really want to know if hens are like this also. Any help/experiences would be very welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.
